More billions to the fascist musk so he can explode rockets over the Caribbean. Just think for a moment, what would happen if NASA exploded that many rockets. There would be investigations galore.

America is the world's stupidest country. Just stating the obvious.

ericmayle.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I wonder how much of that will be diverted to SpaceX?

Apparently destroying everything that is good about America is making it “great“ again.

And they’re gonna give that money to SpaceX

F that. Just cut out Elon and SpaceX. Musk can’t get it right anyway. Sell him off for parts. The amount of fraud and waste that getting rid of Elon would save is astronomical!

Who says that Tumpelon and Dickwad DOGE have the authority to do any of this? Stop the Orange Fraud & Elon the Toad!

Cut that, leave everything else alone.

NASA’s budget is so incredibly insignificant to the overall budget that this is clearly corruption to aide Apartheid Clyde.

No question that China will pick up the slack and leap ahead

lifesafeast.bsky.social•1 day ago

To fund… SpaceX?

all-a-mort.bsky.social•20 hours ago

And give China, Russia and India etc the field. Again, it in no way serves American interests to do this. So other interests are being served.

maliburek.bsky.social•10 hours ago

China and India especially. So sad. Racing to be 3rd world as fast as we can.

This is absolutely a gift to Elon, who will want to kill NASA and make the US entirely dependent on SpaceX.

That explosion is Elmo making a roman candle out of tax dollars

Yup, this idiot⬇️

You mean those rockets that keep exploding?

lulabeast.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not just a gift to Elon. MAMA - Make America Mediocre Again - Putin’s wish list.

Of course there is no conflict of interest

NASA is so much more than use rocket though

tominco.bsky.social•1 day ago

NASA does the unprofitable stuff. The only way this makes sense is that they are going to pocket the money instead of doing science.

Let me guess give it to Musk and SpaceX so he can get the credit for its "research"? 🤔🙄

j1drvr.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well he’s got to make up for the Carbon Credits he’s been lacking,
from Swassticarz sales.

Can we please stop funding the musk heist?
It seems there is a way, let's get busy and set some precedent! ⬇️
