Who would trust either one of them?

Considering that Misk's Falcon 9 and Bezos' New Shepherd rockets are both "human rated", and considering the extremely tough standards they must meet to achieve this rating, I'd trust either one. In fact, if I had the money, I'd buy a ticket on one of Bezos' tourist space flights. After several successful unmanned flights, the manned flights should begin next year.

I meant their cities.  When Bezos stops recording everything, maybe.

As for Musk, have driven some Teslas.  They are safety hazards.  The one I drove lost all power on the highway.  Apparently, this happens sometimes.  Power came back, eventually.  The carputer rebooted, several times.  It takes several minutes to reboot.  Tesla is lacking in quality.
