SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter on Tuesday, as his company works to persuade Federal Communications Commission officials that it should allow SpaceX to move some of its Starlink satellites to lower altitudes than originally planned.
"It does not serve the public to hamstring Starlink today for an Amazon satellite system that is at best several years away from operation," Musk said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, Amazon has been working on its own satellite internet called Project Kuiper.
Musk's comment comes after SpaceX director David Goldman spoke with FCC officials late last week to discuss the company's proposal to move some of the Starlink satellites to lower altitudes.
In December, representatives of Amazon spoke with FCC chairman Ajit Pai about SpaceX's request to modify its Starlink plans.
