Elon Musk says SpaceX will decommission Dragon spacecraft after Trump threat — or not
www.cnbc.com
SpaceX's Dragon is the only U.S. option for delivering crew to and from the International Space Station.

KEY POINTS

  • Elon Musk said SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” because of threats by Donald Trump to cancel government contracts with Musk’s businesses.
  • Musk’s announcement on his social media site X escalated a war of words with Trump that began after the Tesla CEO criticized the major tax bill being pushed by the Republican president.
  • A SpaceX Dragon capsule brought two NASA astronauts back to Earth in March after they were stranded for months at the International Space Station by a Boeing Starliner capsule.

      Agreed. No one should have that much wealth. Saying it is fine is like saying cancer is fine for a body.

        I’m okay with billionaires if the government provides a UBI of ten million a year. A hundred years of UBI seems like a fair amount for someone to own if they worked really hard and inherited a nice house. Houses are one of the only things I think should be inherited.
