Elon Musk on Thursday mocked a photo of Blue Moon, the moon lander created by Jeff Bezos' aerospace company, Blue Origin.

The photo of the lunar lander concept, which appears to be taken at a Blue Origin event and shows the middle portion of the lander seemingly deflated, was originally $4 on Reddit in 2019.

In April, NASA awarded the HLS contract to Elon Musk's aerospace company in order for its $4 to land humans on the moon as early as 2024. SpaceX beat its competitors Blue Origin and defense contractor Dynetics.

NASA's decision came as a shock - the agency was expected to select two out of the three companies for the landing-system contract.

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Tuesday released a 76-page $4 that ruled in favor of NASA choosing SpaceX as the sole winner of the $2.9 billion Human Landing System contract (HLS).

The Blue Origin spokesperson told Davenport on Thursday that the company may take NASA's decision to the Court of Federal Claims, according to his tweet.

"We stand by our assessment that SpaceX received preferential treatment," a Blue Origin spokesperson told Insider. "We continue to urge NASA to restore competition and immediately award a second provider."
