@arstechnica A launchpad RUD would go some way towards making *my* dreams for musk come true.

Oh look, #SpaceX flew a tin can around Earth’s poles and #CNN wants to know if you enjoyed their buffering ad experience more than the groundbreaking mission.
Because who cares about #space when there's a #survey to fill out?

#DOGE’s #Pentagon Budget Cuts Don’t Touch #ElonMusk’s #SpaceX
By Nick Turse, April 3, 2025
Excerpt:
"A day after his announcement, #Hegseth hosted a 'private meeting in the secretary’s office' with #Musk, who donated almost $300 million to Donald #Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign — after which the new president tapped Musk to spearhead the administration’s budget-cutting efforts. While Musk has seen his electric car company Tesla face immense consumer backlash and financial headwinds, SpaceX — now the top Pentagon contractor by market valuation — is poised to reap increased rewards from Hegseth’s department."
