Elon Musk pins Jeff Bezos: ''copycat''

The split between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos won another chapter on Friday. Musk made a joke on Twitter reposting a report from The Financial Times about Amazon's acquisition of Zoox, a self-driving taxi company, for $ 1.2 billion.
Musk called Bezos a “copy cat”, or “copião”, contextualizing for Portuguese. According to Businnes Insider, the purchase leaves Amazon in a competition field with Tesla in the field of autonomous driving. Negotiation was important for the retail giant as there is a package delivery project in the United States using Zoox's autonomous fleet.
The vehicles are designed for specific services, such as delivery, unlike Tesla, which is sold directly to the end consumer.
