Elon Musk: Biden Administration Has Been ‘Extremely Antagonistic’ Toward SpaceX

Elon Musk: The Biden administration has been extremely antagonistic towards SpaceX.

“[The astronauts] were supposed to be [in the Space Station] for eight days, and they've been up there for eight months. We offered to bring them back early. This offer was rejected by the Biden administration. There's no way that they're going to make anyone who's supporting Trump look good.

People were like, Elon's making it up; the Biden administration wasn't against SpaceX. I'm like, bro. The Department of Justice had a massive lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, even though it is illegal for us [as a rocket company] to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident.

Why would the Biden administration launch a massive lawsuit against SpaceX? They're extremely antagonistic.”
