Maybe! The point, though, is that first to market isn’t automatically the same as the final winner.

This isn't just first to market it's been 10 years and SpaceX is still innovating. I applaud Bezos for at least offering some sort of competition though it will keep SpaceX from becoming complacent.
Gates was about a decade ahead of the game on tablets, too. iPad came and cleaned up the market.

It happens. I don't think we'll know the winner (if there even winds up being a single one) of this race for a decade or more, and I think Bezos's fortune is a lot safer.
