Shareholders of a pension fund that includes Amazon stock have filed a lawsuit against the company, its founder Jeff Bezos, and its board of directors. The lawsuit alleges that Amazon breached its fiduciary duty in acquiring launch services for the Project Kuiper megaconstellation without considering SpaceX and its Falcon 9 rocket. The plaintiffs argue that choosing Falcon 9 would have been the most prudent choice, as it is more cost-effective and readily available. However, the lawsuit claims that SpaceX was not considered due to a personal rivalry between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. The lawsuit highlights Amazon’s mega-award for launch contracts in 2022, which excluded SpaceX but included Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, and Arianespace. The lawsuit argues that Amazon’s board of directors did not consider SpaceX as a potential launch contractor and instead chose companies that would benefit Bezos. The ongoing delays to Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket and United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan booster are also raised as concerns. The plaintiffs are seeking damages and attorney’s fees. Amazon has stated that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit. The lawsuit sheds light on the tensions between Musk and Bezos and the fact that SpaceX has outperformed Blue Origin in various spaceflight activities. However, the core issue is whether Amazon’s directors gave due consideration to SpaceX and other related matters during the approval of the launch contracts.
