Musk claimed without evidence that Nasa’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were left stranded on the orbital outpost for ‘political reasons’

Summary

Elon Musk accused former president Joe Biden of stranding NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on the ISS “for political reasons,” prompting Danish astronaut Andreas “Andy” Mogensen to label the claim “a lie.”

“What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media,” wrote the 48-year-old European Space Agency astronaut.

Musk called Mogensen “fully retarded” and claimed SpaceX could’ve rescued the astronauts months ago, without evidence.

NASA refuted Musk’s abandonment claim, calling it baseless.

    What the hell are you about. I think this is a case of projection, you are disheartened so you project it on to others.

    I’m just saying/observing/analyzing that it’s nothing of consequence. People expect the Dems to magically solve the Trump problem (all this “why don’t they do something??”) and I’m saying they can’t do anything of consequence.

      You’re telling people to do nothing and there’s no point in doing anything until some imaginary worthwhile battle…

      And yeah I am disheartened, of course I am, this is a terrible situation to be in. I’m arguing that we still have to fight. Everyone who understands what is going on and cares has to fight with the blitz spirit - when your enemy is much more powerful and on paper is going to kick your ass 100% certain and is bombing the crap out of you every day but the stakes are so high you fight anyway and fight harder.

        Again, what the hell are you on about. No conversation can be had when you ram what you want to read into people’s mouths, instead of reading what they actually say. Read what I have already written. Ciao.
