Over the next several years, Elon Musk aims to take astronauts to the moon using a 403-foot rocket, launch a fleet of autonomous vehicles that lack a steering wheel or pedals, and turn millions of existing Teslas into self-driving cars overnight.
Musk has acknowledged his ambitions require overcoming regulatory hurdles, roadblocks presented by NASA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Throwing caution to the wind, Musk took aim at the man overseeing each one of those agencies in X posts this week - Transportation Secretary and acting NASA administrator Sean P. Duffy - igniting a new public feud with the Trump administration through an official who possesses direct oversight of his business empire.
Having a NASA Administrator who knows literally ZERO about rockets & spacecraft undermines the American space program and endangers our astronauts, Musk said in an X post on Wednesday.

Duffy is a buffoon.

(5,931 posts)He repeatedly showed his belly to trump, and that's all trump requires. Musk's bizarre showmanship and ability to run a great company into dirt is a green mark in the trump column as well.
