Gotta admit that Elon Musk made the right call here (Wisconsin embarrassment Sean Duffy edition)

 

Headline:  Oligarch Watch, 10/24/2025

Caleb Ecarma reports:

On Tuesday, Musk called Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy a “dangerously stupid dummy” after the Trump official said he would reopen the NASA contract for its Artemis III lunar mission. In 2021, NASA awarded Musk’s SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to ferry astronauts to the lunar surface by 2027. But given the numerous setbacks to SpaceX’s Starship rocket, the initial Artemis III deadline appears implausible. 

For that reason, Duffy, who is moonlighting as the acting administrator of NASA [key word: "acting", said he would “open up the contracts” for the mission. “We’re not going to wait for one company. We’re going to push this forward and win the second space race against the Chinese,” he told CNBC, adding that SpaceX was behind schedule
