Elon Musk, one of the richest names in the world, reproached US President Joe Biden. SpaceX performed a historic space flight, making the world’s first fully civilian space flight. On the Inspiration 4 mission, the four-man civilian crew spent three days in orbit. The crew then successfully returned to Earth on Sunday.
Musk, CEO of SpaceX, received many congratulations. Among those who congratulated Musk were many important names, including NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, government officials and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos. In short, the Inspiration 4 space mission attracted the attention of the whole world, but except for one person. Musk’s reproachful post was aimed at President Joe Biden. Because Biden had not yet released a congratulatory message.
Elon Musk is angry that Biden didn’t congratulate him
Musk’s social media platform Twitter has 60 million followers. A tweet caught the attention of the billionaire businessman. In the post, Musk’s follower said, “The President of the United States, St. He didn’t congratulate the crew who helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for Jude. What is the reason of this?” said.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk answered his follower’s question: “He’s still asleep. ” So what does this expression also mean? Former US President Donald Trump used the phrase “Sleepy Joe” for Joe Biden. We see that Musk also refers to this statement.
Meanwhile, SpaceX has a generally comfortable relationship with the federal government. According to CNBC’s report, it gives multiple powers to the space transportation company. SpaceX has accomplished successful missions on the International Space Station. It was also the company of choice for NASA to develop a lunar lander. Therefore, this somewhat vulgar post by Musk is unlikely to change that.
One of the main goals of the Inspiration4 mission is St. It was to raise $200 million for the Jude Children’s Research Hospital. By Saturday, they had raised $160.2 million. After the launch of Inspiration4, Musk pledged to personally contribute $50 million. Thus, the amount of donations collected by the campaign increased to 210 million dollars.
