The tension reportedly began in March when Delta opted for Amazon's Leo satellite internet over SpaceX's Starlink. Musk had warned Delta about the potential impact of this decision. Recent criticism surged after Bastian allegedly made unverified comments about Musk on X. Despite the unconfirmed allegations, Bastian emphasized there's no personal animosity, expressing no intention of retaliating against Musk.",
