The feud of Elon Musk with President Donald Trump has officially reached a job.
Musk said in a post on X on Thursday that SpaceX “will start dismantling his Dragon -Space Varitage immediately” in the light of Trump's statement that the government contracts and subsidies of the billionaire stored.
The CEO of the SpaceX contained a screenshot of Trump's earlier Truth Social Post, who said that the end of the government contracts of Musk would be the “easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars.”
Musk declined that decision about five hours later.
“This is a shame that this is back and forth. You are both better than this. Cool and take a step back for a few days,” wrote X user FAB25June on the platform.
“Good advice. OK, we won't be Dragon Dragon,” said Musk.
The Tarragon SpaceX SpaceX SpaceX are used to transport NASA astronauts and supplies to and from the international space station.
In a statement to Business Insider, Bethany Stevens, secretary of NASA press, said: “NASA will continue to perform the president's future for the future of space. We will continue to work with our industrial partners to ensure that the president's objectives are achieved in space.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comments.
The comments then came between the former allies exploded on Thursday, in which Trump and Musk were made public with insults on their respective social media platforms, Truth Social and X.
The government contracts of Musk are worth billions, with SpaceX working closely with NASA. SpaceX's Dragon SpaceCraft, designed to be reusable, can transport a maximum of seven passengers to and from a job and is the first private spacecraft that transports people to and from the ISS, says the company.
Since 2020, NASA has been confronted with the dragon of SpaceX to transport astronauts to and from a job. The agency, which retired his Space Shuttle program in 2011, was dependent on the Russian Soyuz spaces for crews before working with SpaceX.
In 2024, NASA announced that SpaceX received a contract of $ 843 million to leave the ISS in early 2030. The plan included the use of a larger, super driven dragon spaces to push the ISS out of a job and eventually land in a remote part of the ocean. NASA was planning to switch to the use of private space stations in the future.
Steve Bannon, who in the first term of Trump served the main strategist of the White House, said on Thursday in an interview that Trump should act immediately in response to the announcement of Musk about dismantling the Dragon Spacecraft.
“President Trump tonight should sign an executive order in which the Defense Production Act is called,” said Bannon, referring to a federal law that grants the president of the President to influence or control domestic industry in the name of the national defense, “and seize SpaceX before midnight.”
