Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, on Thursday said his company SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft after he engaged in an extraordinary public fallout with Donald Trump who had threatened to cancel government contracts with Musk’s businesses.
“In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately,” Musk posted on the social media platform X, which he owns.
A few minutes earlier Trump had posted on Truth Social – the media platform that he owns – that he might cancel huge lucrative contracts with Musk’s businesses, which include the SpaceX company that is building a fleet of rockets.
The federal government can just national security/eminent domain take that shit.
I’ve said this a long ago and kept getting downvoted… I’m all for kicking Elon by making fun of the CyberTruck and calling everything be touches shit, but Tesla and SpaceX have some of the smartest engineers in the world and they made a lot of good technology that would be too sad to throw away because a Nazi capitalist owned the companies.
Normalize the idea of nationalizing Tesla and SpaceX, we can actually get there.
And a lot of it paid for by the government at least space x. Tesla not so sure about there are many dumb designs with Tesla. Like allowing people to burn in them because they can’t get out.
I’m sure the engineers are aware it’s a stupid decision, but you can’t really force the company to do the right thing. It’s a problem that’s been solved for centuries, but Tesla (by Musk I assume) is willing to sacrifice some lives to have the cars look slightly more sleek.
Now that would be HILARIOUS
And set up a conflict between the bourgeoisie and the Trump administration.
I mean, that’s coming eventually.
Illegal aliens can’t own stuff like this anyway. Once he’s in South Africa super safe
