why not decommission it the usual way: launching it into a million pieces over protected wetlands

“In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately”

Trump threatens to cancel Musk’s Billions of $ of Gov contracts.

Musk calls for Trump impeachment.

Don’t know what, but something else much bigger is about to happen!

dechardin.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ummm? Starlink shutdown anyone?

The Dragons have actually been very reliable.

evepick.bsky.social•15 days ago

Fewer unintended rapid decelerations.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•15 days ago

😂. Laughing only because it's great to see Leon and his BFF going after each other. The part about Leon's rockets disintegrating over protected wetlands and over reefs in Turks and Caicos is no laughing matter.

realricksinger.bsky.social•15 days ago

Do you think the residents who let SpaceX become a city are rejoicing

“Just for that, I’m going to destroy them all so you can’t have them and then I’m going in the backyard and eat worms and die and then you’ll be sorry, but it will be TOO LATE!”

It looks like the divorce proceedings are moving forward. Well, my popcorn is ready!

I must admit to a bias, though. I really want to see ElMu bite the dust HARD as an object lesson to the other oligobros.

seriouslydemented.bsky.social•15 days ago

Does that mean they're going to have another launch?

isometricfit.bsky.social•15 days ago

What if Elon started to throttle Trump's posts on X. That is his next move, watch and see.

sandy406.bsky.social•15 days ago

Pouting does not look good on a grown man. Just saying.

aktoman.bsky.social•15 days ago

Can the astronauts disconnect Dragon's FSD to stop it from leaving?

hoomanitou.bsky.social•15 days ago

I believe Leon calls that kind of decommissioning as “spontaneous unscheduled rapid disassembly”

novamunkie.bsky.social•15 days ago

I busted out laughing when I read that! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA

Every failed launch should be fined millions of dollars for the pollution, littering and clean-up. The satellites reaching orbit (all, not just SpaceX) should have a large bond posted because eventually "space" will need to be cleaned up.

Elon bought the US government, now DonOld doesn't deliver it. It is the typical case when someone thinks he/she is "smart" and finds someone else "smarter".

kmcn13.bsky.social•15 days ago

I help! I help!

as if it's gonna happen

0xdeadkeith.bsky.social•15 days ago

Crocodile tears for Elon.

dong66.bsky.social•15 days ago

Is Musk🐀 just talking 💩 or is he really going to do it just so it won't give the 🍊💩🤡 the satisfaction of cancelling the contract

mimimcbroom.bsky.social•15 days ago

did Elon just say he was taking his toys and going home?

doogieboo.gay•15 days ago

and unfortunately without dragon we have to rely on... boeing... and russia...

mrsfifid.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think Boeing is probably the best shot...

Rapid unscheduled decommissioning

Oh. I've got to go buy more popcorn!

angelalangford81.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is set up!
They pretend there's a conflict. Musk moves his life and companies somewhere else. That really causes the US to be stuck or behind the rest of the world in space.
ALL ACCORDING TO PUTINS & XIS PLAN!!

bobbyg931.bsky.social•15 days ago

Dang need more popcorn

fjhuggies.bsky.social•15 days ago

Over Mar-a-Lago would be pretty sweet

cjtoronto.bsky.social•15 days ago

That's Starship, not Dragon.

Dragon is what ferries supplies and astronauts back and forth to the I.S.S.

Turns out, it wasn't a great idea to hand the space program over to an unstable megalomaniac.

be-informed.bsky.social•15 days ago

And probably other NSA and Space Force cargo etc... Elon has a card to play on this one.

cavu4ever.bsky.social•15 days ago

Indeed. SpaceX has a classified sister program similar to Starlink for NRO reportedly worth $1.8B - Starshield. Who knows what else.

scrappy2you.bsky.social•15 days ago

They're both scum. Let the games begin.

derob966.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hmmm . So this is really about dropping a failing rocket program and blaming Trump for making him decommission it instead of admitting failure

leloupgawoo.bsky.social•15 days ago

They could always terminate it right into the orange menaces house

mattaponi.bsky.social•15 days ago

Terminate all contracts immediately…that will be real savings…

That will put a lot of money into the Russian account.

tryingagain2.bsky.social•15 days ago

Too much power in the hands of oligarchs. Inevitable that Musk was going to threaten the US with his SpaceX holdings. No one human should hold that much power…President or businessman

ascher1.bsky.social•15 days ago

You mean the one that keeps blowing up

maziken.bsky.social•15 days ago

You sound ignorant. Dragon is reliable as is Falcon 9. Starship is what is a mess at the moment.

I still think it’s an act, but if this is what it takes for them to actually destroy each other, I’m not mad.

jbeardsley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don't forget the busy airline routes also.

chrisdonnelly.bsky.social•15 days ago

This fallout was called when Musk and Trump teamed up. They were both trying to be Alphas, but their egos were always going to be the problem. Bring on the popcorn, couldn't ask for better entertainment!🍿🍿

ahuihou.org•15 days ago

Yea, but…”Never get into a fight with someone who owns a newspaper.” It could get interesting.
