Elon Musk, founder and chief engineer of SpaceX speaks at the 2020 Satellite Conference and Exhibition March 9, 2020 in Washington, DC. Musk answered a range of questions relating to SpaceX projects during his appearance at the conference.
Since it uses Jeff Bezos' popular streaming platform, the billionaire was often linked to the new TV show.
Some sources even claimed that Amazon CEO provided some notes to the studio handling the new "The Lord of the Rings" adaptation series.
Although this is the case, it is still hard to conclude that the connection of Jeff Bezos with "The Rings of Power" triggered Musk to criticize the new TV series.
