Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will start retiring its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” in response to President Donald Trump’s threat to terminate government contracts with his companies.
Trump responded to Musk’s criticism of him and the “big, beautiful bill” in a Truth Social post on Thursday. “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” he wrote.
In response to Trump’s post, Musk stated, “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”
The company holds billions in contracts with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to transport astronauts to and from the ISS, enabling the agency to sustain a continuous presence at the station until its planned retirement in 2030, according to Bloomberg, Daily Caller reports.
I’m not sure Elon is correct, but Musk and Trump publicly trashing each other is childish and devastating at the same time.

Elon has zero evidence of Trump being on an Epstein list. If it were true, wouldn’t the Democrats in the Biden administration have released the information?
Elon says Trump is in the Epstein files—which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s been to the island.
But if he’s implying Trump is a p*do and he knew that while he was in the White House, at UFC fights, or chilling with Trump with his kid… why stay quiet until now?

Elon is a genius but he’s nuts so I sold ALL of my Tesla stock today before it drops like a stone. I have no confidence any longer in this guy and there’s no way I’m risking my hard-earned cash on someone this irrational. Rise or fall, I will never invest in that guy again. Never!!!
My hunch is Trump broke a promise to Trump on DOGE cuts. Musk wanted to be proclaimed a hero
Poor little fella didn’t get his way & is taking his ball & going home. Drugs are a terrible thing, he needs an intervention.
Elon might want to search – – – When was the last time the US nationalize a business. – – –
LOL. Tune in to the WWE and watch some real fighting. Definitely more realistic than this fakery. The people will believe just about anything…
Two jackasses going at it. I bet liberals love Musk again. LOL
