Trump vs. Musk: A Space-Age Showdown

President Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk engaged in a heated public feud, with Trump threatening to cancel SpaceX government contracts and Musk responding with a threat to decommission Dragon spacecraft. This exchange raised concerns about the impact on NASA and the Department of Defense, who heavily rely on SpaceX. Although Musk later retracted the decommissioning threat, the incident highlights the complex interplay between US politics and business, and its implications for space exploration. Trump's withdrawal of Jared Isaacman's nomination for NASA administrator further complicated the situation.
