Elon Musk briefly threatened to stop NASA’s access to SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which is currently the only U.S. vehicle capable of transporting astronauts to the International Space Station. This came amid a clash with President Donald Trump, who had threatened to cancel SpaceX’s federal contracts. The move would have severely disrupted NASA, the Pentagon, and intelligence agencies that rely on SpaceX. Musk later backed down, saying he needed to cool off. NASA did not comment on alternatives but reaffirmed its commitment to the President’s space goals and continued collaboration with industry partners.
