They don't have to replace him. They do not care about innovation. They would gladly give up innovation for political spite. They wouldn't even think twice about it.

Well, I guess that would be the end of Ukrainian Starlink. Shame

Doesn't matter, honestly Space X last quarterly noted only 4% of revenue came from government contracts mostly associated with StarShield.

But if you think that's what is going to hold up Space X then good luck. Companies aren't going to be running Blue Origin's rocket that just blew up in May.

Tesla doesn't collect anything from the government other than CAFE credits cause of the electric cars but they ended them earlier this year. Other companies were basically buying the credits from Tesla.

Yeah the idea that Musk is only rich and successful because of govt contracts is just another fantasy land made up left wing talking point from people who worship AOC, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. People who have never achieved anything of value throughout the entirety of their lives.

What would be their reason again? He was given the ok by the President. Everything was out in the open. There is no cover-up.

while everyone was watching an in your face rigged election, which is almost comical at this point…Trump put this out yesterday:

Under my leadership, the United States is once again writing a bold new chapter in space exploration. This past April, the Artemis II mission successfully carried astronauts around the Moon and farther from Earth than any human had ever traveled before. This historic voyage is only the beginning. Next summer, Artemis III will undertake one of the most complex and consequential test flight campaigns in the history of our Nation’s space program.

Artemis III mission—now targeted for late 2027 as a 14-to-17-day crewed low-Earth-orbit (LEO) demonstration flight instead of an immediate lunar landing—SpaceX's Starship Human Landing System (HLS) serves as a key integration and testing partner.

Are you asserting Democrats wouldn't change a law to retroactively make something a crime in order to achieve a poltiical prosecution? Oh you sweet summer child.

People rush to buy SpaceX on the cheap, then lose even more money when the company gets nationalized.

Wait until they slap major regulations on data centers and rocket launches to slow down or fully halt both.
