KEY POINTS

  • Elon Musk said SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately” because of threats by Donald Trump to cancel government contracts with Musk’s businesses.
  • Musk’s announcement on his social media site X escalated a war of words with Trump that began after the Tesla CEO criticized the major tax bill being pushed by the Republican president.
  • A SpaceX Dragon capsule brought two NASA astronauts back to Earth in March after they were stranded for months at the International Space Station by a Boeing Starliner capsule.

Nope. No one person ever needs anything near that amount of money.

    Agreed. No one should have that much wealth. Saying it is fine is like saying cancer is fine for a body.

    I'm okay with billionaires if the government provides a UBI of ten million a year. A hundred years of UBI seems like a fair amount for someone to own if they worked really hard and inherited a nice house. Houses are one of the only things I think should be inherited.
