Michael Steele Says Elon Musk Should 'Go Back To His Day Job' After SpaceX Explosion

Posted • March 9, 2025: On Thursday, SpaceX's second Starship test flight ended in an explosion, which really amused the panelists on MSNBC, leading to a spontaneous burst of singing and laughter. SpaceX founder Elon Musk replied that "rockets are hard," which led Michael Steel to ask Musk why he doesn't go back to his day job "and leave those of us who do government to do government." Who's "us"? Steele claimed that Musk should pick one or the other because he's clearly failing at both launching rockets and rooting waste out of the federal government. So who does the host turn to for commentary? Why, Rep.

And when was it the government's job to "provide services"? - "Leave those of us who do government to do government…" Yeah, because the establishment politicians and bureaucrats have been doing such a great job. BTW, Michael Steele hasn't held elected office in over 18 years. So he's not even part of the "us" that he's referring to. "Those of us who do government" says the low-rated TV host. (…)
