I swear, these two are playing 7th dimension chess against the left, who will NEVER figure it out.

About 95% of all low earth orbit launches are done by Space X. It would take years for the US government to develop significant launch capabilities to match that. And who is going to do it? Boeing?

Nope ULA [ Boeing ] is out of Atlas rockets and would have to make Centaur work somehow. By that time all the knowledge base would be lost, and the US space program [ civilian and military ] would only exist in history books and YT videos.

Trump is being more foolish than Elon? How so?
Elon is the one who has initiated both rounds of the feud.
To: AndyJackson
Boeing is incapable of picking up the slack - which you would learn from watching the video. Any slack they and a few others could pick up would cost $$100s of millions more.

Maybe. Never underestimate the ability of the government to ruin people who actually do real work.
Will ruining Elon Musk save us "big money?
No, but it will save China big money in their attempts to pass us up in space exploration and exploitation.

Trump’s relationships always end this way.
To: PIF
Elon is unstable. But to this point, he’s not proven to be terminally unstable. He usually sobers up before he can do permanent damage.

This is a tempest in a teapot. Trump will only do what is in America’s interest. Musk has been out of control for awhile now. He’s going to need to calm down and basically stop thinking he has a say in running the Country.

There was no threat. A little trash talk to balance Musks ridiculous attacks. Like you would tell a kid...calm down.

I agree. We can’t lose Space X. It’s the space company that actually can go to space.

It is in Musk’s power to end it. Or not.
I am sorry they are feuding, I respect and admire Musk, but he is forcing a choice and I choose President Trump.

What I see is an unbecoming facet of his autism. The same atypical force that helped his ascent to great success is now working to undo him. Join me in prayer for him.
