Not if Space X is declared a National Security Asset. It would be like the competition for the Stealth Fighter program that lost to the F-22 decided they were going to sell their aircraft to the Japanese. It would never happen.

The only difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is 6 months. Covid Vaxx being bad for you. Hunter"s Laptop. Biden not actually running the White House. The Conspiracy Theorists were correct about it all.

Elon is smart enough to know Trump won't be president forever. He can easily wait this out.

Covid Vaxx being bad for you.


The overwhelming consensus among scientists, public health experts, and peer-reviewed research is that COVID-19 vaccines have done far more good than harm, especially during the height of the pandemic. Here's a breakdown:

Benefits (the "good")
Saved millions of lives:

A study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases estimated that vaccines prevented over 14 million deaths globally in the first year alone.

Reduced severe illness and hospitalization:

Vaccinated individuals were far less likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19, especially during the Delta and Omicron waves.

Helped reopen societies and economies:

Widespread vaccination reduced transmission enough to allow many countries to relax lockdowns and reopen safely.

Protected healthcare systems:

Preventing severe disease helped prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, especially during surges.

Risks and Side Effects (the "bad")
Mild to moderate side effects (most common):

Fatigue, fever, arm soreness, and headaches were common but short-lived.

Rare but serious adverse effects:

Some vaccines were linked to very rare side effects like myocarditis (mainly in young males with mRNA vaccines) or blood clots (mainly with AstraZeneca/J&J). These were carefully studied and monitored, with clear communication from health agencies.

Misinformation and mistrust:

Some concerns and hesitancy came from how quickly the vaccines were developed and rolled out, and misinformation sometimes fueled public fear.

Bottom Line
The COVID-19 vaccines were not perfect, and no public health measure is without risk. But based on all available evidence:

The benefits greatly outweighed the risks.

They saved millions of lives, prevented countless hospitalizations, and helped bring the worst of the pandemic under control.

If you’d like, I can point you to specific studies or break this down by country, age group, or vaccine type.

China can help. President Trump just called president Xi this morning.
Bye bye Elon.
