UPDATE: I updated the links in this article because TACO Don and Musk have pulled their threatening tweets down. Maybe a little tonsil hockey is in store for these two as they try to fix the bromance…

When I earlier wrote that we just lost the moon, this is exactly what I had envisioned. The inevitable implosion of the Musk/Trump bromance. Two moronic narcissists with delusions of grandeur could never swap spit for long without it coming to this. We may soon witness the complete demise of Tesla and SpaceX. Trump threatened to pull government contracts from Musk while Musk replied he would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately. Then, to seal the breakup with a kiss, he lobbed in that Epstein grenade.

FYI - SpaceX’s Dragon capsule is a reusable spacecraft capable of carrying up to seven passengers and cargo to and from Earth orbit, according to SpaceX. NASA currently relies on the capsule to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), so canceling these government contracts effectively eliminates America’s ability to launch astronauts to space from American soil.

Who knows, perhaps some enchanted evening, with a bottle of perfectly chilled Dom Perignon for Musk and a Diet Coke for Trump, along with a magically prepared plastic tray of Big Mac’s and American fries out on the terrace of the White House - when the light and shadow of evening are perfect, and with a soft, tender serenade for the broken couple, the two largest egos in the observable universe might rekindle their bromance?

It’s the only thing that can keep hope alive for the US to get back to the Moon and maybe some day travel to Mars.

But all the Vegas money is on China. Radio hams need to cultivate more friends in China if we want to take part in the greatest adventure of the 21st century…
