Musk’s Space Station Rage: Astronaut’s Callout Sparks Outburst
Elon Musk falsely claimed that two astronauts were abandoned in space for political reasons, sparking a public dispute with astronaut Andreas Mogensen. Mogensen refuted Musk’s assertion, prompting a personal attack from Musk. The astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, were delayed due to technical issues with their return vehicle, not political maneuvering, and are returning as planned. NASA and the astronauts themselves have denied being abandoned, contradicting Musk’s repeated claims.
