Elon Musk is calling for NASA to ditch its Moon program, arguing that the "Moon is a distraction" and that "we're going straight to Mars.

Consequently, the South African billionaire has been put in charge of a so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” to excise $2 trillion from the national budget. Whether this advisory group will be able to take aim at the Artemis program remains to be seen.

    Yeah, but Biden’s aides had 4 years to toss him out…

    And instead they didn’t, and we all know by know from those same aides and other elected Dems that Biden wasn’t competent on day 1, so if his aides didn’t think something was important, it didn’t get done.

    We fucked around electing Biden, his admin fucked around in office, and now we’re in the find out stage just like trump voters.

    Edit:

    To clarify I meant Biden’s admin had four years to cancel Musk’s contracts for any of the shit ton of reasons musk shouldn’t have government contracts, and then they could have drastically increased NASA funding.

    I get how my comment could have looked like I was criticizing Biden’s admin for not invoking the 25th. I still think they should have, but that wasn’t what I meant in the original comment.
