NASA administrator Bill Nelson called for an investigation into a report that Elon Musk has been having secret conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin while dually involved in classified intelligence contracts with the U.S. government.
“I don’t know that that story is true. I think it should be investigated,” Nelson said Fridayat a Semafor conference in Washington. “If the story’s true, that there have been multiple conversations between Elon Musk and the president of Russia, then I think that would be concerning, particularly for NASA, the Department of Defense, for some of the intelligence agencies.”
It should be looked into.
How can someone with that much money look like such a dork?
It’s the ugly growth on his neck. If he would just get that removed, we’d all like him much more.
I think you’re giving too much credit to surgery. He’d still be a huge dork. That little flap of skin didn’t dress him in the morning.
Can we revoke his government contracts now?
Better: maybe this gives SpaceX leverage to boot Musk and get away from the madness before the X fiasco sinks Tesla
And all of his tax breaks too please
Gonna be a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people if Trump and Elon actually do manage to end the war with reasonable terms.
Not saying I’m optimistic that this will happen but I guess you can’t really rule it out either. I have a feeling that Putin is pretty much done with this shitshow and would be willing to take an exit that’ll preserve even half of his face.
This is great, assuming Nelson or someone similar is NASA Admin after January and not Elon Musk. That’s a fucking terrifying thought.
Ooo please tell me Musk leaked some secrets… please tell me he’s about to get a dank cell someplace…. Unpleasant.
Hmm… I want him to be in a dark cell, but I also don’t want Russia to have any advantages because of what he did.
Ohhhh boy. Don’t fuck with the space program.
The severely under funded space program? Oh yeah, that things super valued.
Well, NASA sometimes works with sensitive info and projects of which sometimes can get shared with their contractors, SpaceX included. Having Musk going through with his escapades, acting otherwise unstably, and now talking with an unfriendly figure to the US. It starts to raise some serious questions regarding national security. NASA is more or less just bringing it to attention.
Lol, everything in the states is under funded with the exception of the military, so it’s a good thing the military doesn’t need to send anything to space.
Air Force and Space Force(cringe) often send up satellites and other material into space.

Also NASA was initially just a program to develop ICBMs

I’m aware of this. I don’t understand what point you’re making though. Are you saying that SpaceX hasn’t sent up anything for the military?
Nasa lmao fbi? Cia? Nsa? Nasa holy brainwashed tv massive destruction newspaper shit kinda world is this?
NASA is the only one that needs to maintain a good PR to continue getting funding. Funding that, correct me if I’m wrong, only gets approved by one side. Not the one Musky boy is reping.
Did they misspell NSA?
NASA = space stuff
SpaceX = space stuff
Rational reasons for concern by NASA chief…
