So Andreas Mogensen, "commander of ISS for Exp 70", posted:

>> Hannity: You’re going to help rescue two astronauts

>> Musk: They were left up there for political reasons

> What a lie.

> And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media.

The response to that was:

> You are fully retarded.

> SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago.

> I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused.

> Return WAS pushed back for political reasons.

> Idiot.

Another astronaut:

> I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

Watching that clip (just the video, muted) from the interview, their demeanor reminds me of the characters sketched by Mark Twain in Huckleberry Finn: the Duke, and the King.


Elon is so immature sometimes (most of the time lately it seems)


He used to make an effort to hide it.


What is the supposed pushback for political reasons? Because this supposed pushback would only have worked for Trump, definitely not against him.
