15 children are among the dead from Texas flash floods as rescuers search for the missing

Rescuers scoured a devastated central Texas landscape of mangled trees, overturned cars and muck-filled debris Saturday in an increasingly bleak mission to locate survivors, including 27 girls who have not been seen since their camp was slammed with a wall of water in a historic flash flood...

I highly doubt it'll happen. Trump supporters don't like Musk for his negative comments about Trump. And Democrats don't like him because of the DOGE cut$.

Pretty sure Musk will fall in line, likely through threats to his wealth.

I'd be concerned that when Trump is no longer an option, that void will be filled, if Musk is savvy and panders to them they will turn to him, that i have no doubt.

In some cases he's only got to take a few hundred bites away from some republicans to succeed.

And on the flip side, The US government is the thing keeping SpaceX afloat. They have been exploding rockets all over the place, they can only afford to do that with fairly significant assurances of future profit.

It troubles me how unconcerned they look when their rockets explode.

This is probably one of few areas I would defend Musk, well more Space X than Musk. these explosions are absolutely necesary for progression.

From what I'm aware, Space X runs rapid testing models, and as such can do the dirty work on behalf of NASA.

NASA are risk averse due to public, funding and international pressure, they can't be seen pushing the boundaries and exploding rockets, but Space X can.

When you push limits, you learn a huge amount but it comes at the cost of higher risk, some of these explosions are malfunctions, some are coordinated by Space X for safety reasons.

The industry is going to see a lot of failures by its very nature, its better to push 1000 boundaries and learn and create safe formulae for manned missions.

Thats how is view it anyway.
 
NASA has been a complete failure since the late 1970s. They have zero credibility.
