Elon Musk just declared war on NASA’s acting administrator, apparently

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has publicly criticized Bill Nelson, the acting administrator of NASA, over his recent comments about potentially including NASA in the Cabinet. Musk, who has a contentious relationship with NASA, took to Twitter to express his disapproval, stating that "NASA should be independent & not part of the Cabinet." The dispute began when Nelson suggested that having NASA as a Cabinet-level agency could potentially benefit the space agency. Musk, however, disagreed with this proposal, arguing that NASA should maintain its autonomy and not be subject to the political pressures that often come with being a part of the Cabinet. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between Musk and NASA, as the two entities have often clashed over various issues, including the funding and direction of the space program. While Musk's comments may be seen as a provocative move, the debate over the future of NASA and its relationship with the government is likely to continue.
