The contracts with space x seem to be intact. Also new contracts for military cyber trucks were signed just last week.

So no they don’t care about costs. Its about sucking all the government money for themselves :)



Biden signed the deal with the cyber trucks. https://www.wral.com/story/fact-check-is-the-state-departmen...

And the NSF headquarters is a complete joke...I use to do tempo runs down Eisenhower Ave when it was all brutalist government buildings and condo's. They ripped down the brutualist buildings and rebuilt them into commercial office space which has sat vacant for years. But then in comes the NSF and they constructed this abomination of a building that has rooftop gardens and dominates the skyline. Massive sky scrapper...And they did this when a significant portion of their employee's worked from home (I know one). Sorry if I'm not crying about layoffs with the NSF, especially after years of tech layoffs due to Section 174 (approved of by some of these same progressive NSF government employees).


I said intact. Aka not cut. Also Space X was contracted to “fix” FAA that is on the chopping block. So you will be paying Musks folks.


You said:

> new contracts for military cyber trucks were signed just last week.

To repeat: Biden admin signed those contracts and they were last updated in December. So not new, not last week, not a deal with Trump admin.

> Space X was contracted to “fix” FAA

No. DOGE, which is a government department of ~100 people, will work to fix FAA, not SpaceX. And you don't have to use scary quotes: by their own admission traffic control system is tech from 70.

Finally, why don't you tell us which SpaceX government contract should be given to another company and how much more will that other company charge (assuming they are even capable of executing the task).


The SpaceX/DOGE/FAA situation seems to be a bit more porous than your are making it out to be, per Wired. I think it’s unclear how that will play out

All of the SpaceX contracts should be cancelled immediately.

No tax dollars should go to Nazis. We have grandparents dead on the beach of Normandy.


The contracts to spacex should be cut.

State Department cut the Tesla deal that Biden signed.
