Don’t worry, Trump is just doing this so he can claim he was responsible for bringing them home.
He’s just trying to take credit from Biden for bringing them home knowing that most Americans aren’t following this saga
Who cares about either one of these people?? Keep them out of the headlines. Such garbage posts. Anything he says is completely irrelevant, cause it’s usually a lie or scam. We all know this, the clown does it everyday
That article neglects what Elon said about this yesterday.
>Elon Musk @elonmusk
>The @POTUS
> has asked @SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the @Space_Stationas soon as possible. We will do so.
> Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long.

It’s like when I was a kid and I would look at the street lights and repeat “green, green, green” and as soon as it got green I took the credit for it.
If something’s bound to happen anyway, it’s a waste if you don’t take credit for it, right Trumpos?
Love how it’s positioned as then being in dire need of rescue instead of having the greatest experience of their lives extended.
The election is over, you can stop blaming Biden for everything.
Dog and pony show so dipshit can take credit. Then all the stupid magats will say only Trump could save them.
This is just a low-effort attempt to sling some mud at the previous administration and make his supporters happy.
Theater. Rinse and repeat. The cultists eat it up
Come on, everyone knows that Biden already asked Musk and that the astronauts were rescued months ago. You all have lost your minds.
I mean, they are all about ending remote work ASAP.
This February trip was already announced back in August of last year.
Donald trump asked an astronaut on the space station why she wasn’t already on mars. She handled it well but I can’t even imagine what getting that question from the president of the United States is like
Our Glorious President Trump has been spending his morning diligently working to guarantee all Americans that the Sun will be rising again tomorrow morning.
I’m fascinated by what SpaceX has accomplished over the last 2 decades, bringing about a revolution in rocketry.
And now I’m embarrassed to admit to it.
Why isn’t there a community note? Come on, what a brazen lie!
Trump doesn’t ask questions. He hears something and his arrogance finds an answer out of thin air. Kind a like his answer for forest fires; we just need to sweep the ground of leaves – no more forest fires.
Trump has always padded his stats by asking for things that are already happening.
Are we supposed to be outraged by Trump’s request?
Maybe he has a plan to make eggs cheaper that way?
If Biden could have got it done he would’ve. Unfortunately it’s Trumplon to the rescue! 🤪
“Elon will you do this?”
“I asked if you’d do it and you agreed, I didn’t offer to pay”
why does this sub keep talking about nazis so much?
Sounds like they left them up there for the election.
It’s like when my boss asks me, “hey could you get this done.” I agree, only because I had already did it awhile back when they asked me the first time but forgot, consequently giving me the day off.
Lol this going to be like the time Elon tried to keep the kids trapped in the mine so he could be the one to save them. Even though his ideas were shit.
As a non-American tired of the King Trump and Queen Musk spam, is there a sub I can follow that doesn’t ever mention them? Out of all the subs I follow, r/Space has really changed in the past month.
