Jeff Bezos gave a "rambling" intro Thursday to the new moon lander created by his Blue Origin spacecraft company, and one person in particular was paying attention—and poking fun.

Except Musk had crudely (both literally and otherwise) altered the photo so that the moon lander had "Blue Balls" imprinted on its side. He added, "Oh stop teasing, Jeff."
