If NASA abandons the ISS, then there will be nowhere for Crew Dragon to go...

Elon will put up is own space station

This is why the crew dragon is reusable,

The ISS continues to show us that outerspace is a horrible place for humans, and that microgravity has not yet proven to be useful enough in manufacturing to offset the cost of putting factories in space.

We should be spending all of NASA's budget on telescopes and probes.

When and if we discover some safe, inexpensive, and reasonably inexhaustible form of energy then we can think about putting humans safely into space, e.g. large rotating cylinders clad in magnetic fields or sufficient amounts of matter to provide simulated gravity and protection from cosmic rays.

Boeing's Starliner - SpaceX's main competitor, who also has a contract for crewed ISS missions with NASA - has been delayed due to development problems.

As expected.

(SpaceX's Starship) has been plagued by regulatory environmental review issues regarding its Boca Chica, Texas launch site and repeated test failures, and has had its own timeline for launch moved back repeatedly

Deliberately delayed by FAA. Test failures are part of rapid prototyping - hinder or delay that process, as the Feds are doing, will kill StarShip.

Authoress's experience is not in SpaceX or space related articles, but in car reviews which may account for her slightly hostile tone.

It’s a power play.

What Elon SHOULD do is

1) Raise the price of a Crew Dragon Ride 500%
2) Tell the Guvvies that the future “rides” will only be via the Starship after a certain date.

WHY? How about the FAA’s/EPA’s 8 month delay to Starship testing in Boca Chica? Biden DOES NOT LIKE ELON, so he’ “punishing” him. That’s one reason why Elon has had to start building a launch complex for starship at the cape, because FAA/EPA may NEVER approve launches from Boca Chica (well as long as Biden is in office).
