Elon Musk reveals 'disgusting' reason Biden Admin left NASA astronauts stranded in space
SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk has revealed the 'political reasons' which he says drove the Biden administration to 'abandon' two NASA astronauts in space.
During a Friday appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, Musk said Biden rejected his offer to bring Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore home early because it would've made Donald Trump 'look good.'
Musk backed Trump during the 2024 campaign and appeared at several MAGA rallies.
The tech CEO explained to Rogan that the Biden administration did not want to jeopardize Kamala Harris' presidential campaign and intentionally 'pushed the return date past the inauguration date.'
'There's no way that they're gonna make anyone who's supporting Trump look good,' he said.
Musk's remarks shocked Rogan. 'That's so crazy... It's just disgusting that they would use that as a political tool,' he said.
Musk also noted that the Biden administration was suing SpaceX at the time.
'So people say, like, 'Oh, Elon's making it up. The Biden administration wasn't against SpaceX,' he said.
'I'm like, bro, the Department of Justice had a massive lawsuit against SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers, even though it is illegal for us to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident.'
SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk shocked Joe Rogan when he revealed the 'political reasons' which he says drove the Biden administration to 'abandon' two NASA astronauts in space.
