Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) showrunner Elon Musk raged at Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday, accusing him of “trying to kill NASA” in an angry series of tweets that included a derogatory nickname.
Musk and Duffy had previously sparred over Musk’s efforts at DOGE.
“I think it might not have been intentional, might have been ham-handed [like] some of the requests that were made by [the Department of Government Efficiency], but my position was, we are not going to fire air traffic controllers,” Duffy told The New York Post‘s Miranda Devine earlier this year. “Safety-critical positions are not going to be fired within the Department of Transportation. We can do things more efficiently … but we are not going to fire air controllers. And so we had a little back and forth, [but] we got along very well after that. I think the papers made it a bigger deal than it was.”
Hostilities reignited on Monday, however, when Duffy told CNBC that Musk’s SpaceX was falling “behind” the administration’s timeline for returning to the moon and that he was going to allow other companies to compete for the government contract to do so.
“We’re not going to wait for one company,” said Duffy, who is also serving as the acting administrator of NASA. “We’re going to push this forward and win the second space race against the Chinese. Get back to the moon, set up a camp, a base.”
Duffy even shared a tweet amplifying his comments.
We are in a race against China so we need the best companies to operate at a speed that gets us to the Moon FIRST.
SpaceX has the contract to build the HLS which will get U.S. astronauts there on Artemis III.

Musk has not taken kindly to Duffy’s remarks.
First, he responded to Duffy’s tweet with a GIF of a famous exchange in which an African anchor asked a guest, “Why are you gay?”

Then, he took a shot at Blue Origin, SpaceX’s Jeff Bezos-owned rival.

And on Tuesday, he continued his volley of attacks, deeming Duffy “Sean Dummy,” accusing him of trying to “kill NASA,” and arguing that “The person responsible for America’s space program can’t have a 2 digit IQ.”

Lobbying against Jared Isaacman, literally the most qualified and best person to be the new head of NASA, is so dumb. You can’t hate politics enough.
Jared as NASA head would be great for America. https://t.co/bNs7yf01xu pic.twitter.com/JuP6eD7dgd

We wouldn’t be in any “race against China” if the DC lefties hadn’t sold out our technology to them. How many Ethel and Julius Rosenbergs populate the DC Swamp?
Mediaite Porn
Not in Duffy’s camp on this one.
Musk is right, no track record but promises faster is a company to steer clear of.
Duffy may think he’s being efficient but treating companies that have rare expertise & a contract as though cracking the whip gets results is a poor leadership choice.
I’m in musk’s corner. He’s a proven entity.
Yikes. Juvenile crap from EM. Hasn’t Duffy fathered something like 40 kids with Rachel Campos? LOL. Hardly consistent with gayness.
“Blue Origin has never delivered a payload to orbit, let alone the Moon

Blue Origin did put a payload up earlier this year. I guess Elon wasn’t paying attention. Blue Origin is far behind SpaceX at this point.
Nine, but who’s counting...
“Don’t be gay Sparky.”
Jessie Kelly plays that short clip a lot.
“Wha ah you ghe?”
It’s so funny.
Seemingly everything these days is fake, gay or retarded.
Which is not so funny.
Blue Origin has not achieved much, and it has never made a profit.
There is some concern that Jeff Bezos will lose interest and give up on Blue Origin.
If that is part of the government’s thinking (I don’t know if it is) then this might be like our tendency to give contracts to shipyards and aircraft companies, in part, to help them pay their bills and stay in business. We want a diverse defense infrastructure to exist for when we need it. So contracts go — sometimes — to those companies that need the money. I think Blue Origin may be in that group.
I remember when “don’t be gay” was a harmless way of saying “don’t be jerk” — then the idiotic era of Woke made ‘gay’ a toxic term
figured Blue Origin was just a carnival ride, and find its mention bizarre
You win the obliviousness award.
Musk: I have the discernment of a 7 year old.
He will be forever young.
And that’s great. He is a badass. Forever young. Friend of mine said “how cool would it be to be like Musk?”
I said I would do it in a minute for a minute.
He is almost literally a kid.
Nice to see most comments here get it.
I don’t know who this Duffy is but he sounds like an empty suit.
Or don’t blow it, don’t screw up.
Well, they have 9 children together with 26 years of marriage, but Elon has 14 children with 4 women.
