Usually they don't allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it's basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don't just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.
