This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses’ questionable-at-best ethics.

Just wait until NASA issues another contract to SpaceX so they can blow up another $5 billion in taxpayer dollars

This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It’s just pettiness and entitlement. He’s going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I’m gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it’s definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

tesla has been investigated, as well… so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink… old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be

so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

SpaceX is still doing truly revolutionary work, and that usually gets you in regulatory trouble. Of everything Musk, I think this company is the greatest thing his paws have made.

I will change opinion if his dream is actually becoming the dictator of the first Nazi Mars Colony, but I wish SpaceX much success in its endeavors for the time being.

That’s what he’ll target next, of course. These “geniuses” are so dumb and predictable.
