Fellow mogul and space enthusiast Elon Musk had some very kind words in response:
Well done, @JeffBezos, and the Blue Origin team! https://t.co/wbezf3UP11

Now, we’re not aware of any past animosity between the two, but there’s something heartwarming about this exchange.
Bezos returned the good wishes later in the day, as Musk prepared for the latest SpaceX launch:
Good luck today @elonmusk and the whole spacex team!!

Musk replied:
Much appreciated! https://t.co/I7k4YYcItk

It’s been a crazy few years, so it’s nice to see two competitors come together like this.
I love seeing you two support each other!

We love it too.
Big Space is collaborating nicely.
This is winning!

Definitely. When two of the brightest minds in the country support each other in the pursuit of a common positive goal instead of tearing each other down, we all win.
2 best friends changing the world and getting us to space

Well, we’re not sure about the best friends part, but it’s a start for sure.
Though, that may indeed be the case:
Step Brothers is the perfect meme for @JeffBezos & me 🤣🤣

Either way, we approve.
