Blue Origin is older company than SpaceX. Blue Origin was founded in 2000 and SpaceX in 2002.

SpaceX got to orbit in 2008 without big government money 6 years after founding.

Blue Origin 20 years after founding still did not managed to get to orbit and Bezos is pushing around billion dollars a year into that company.

Blue Origin is obviously quite badly managed.

For example Rocket Lab founded in 2006 in New Zealand is a lot more successful with many orbital launches.

They are currently building human rated, 8 metric tonne class orbital reusable rocket.
