"During the teleconference, a vice president at SpaceX, Bill Gerstenmaier, was asked directly what offer Musk was referring to when he mentioned the Biden administration. He did not provide a substantive answer."
This is a read-between-the-lines moment. Gerstenmaier is maybe the most respected engineer in all of crewed spaceflight, and worked for NASA until 2019, including #ISS and #SLS and commercial crew. Why did he dodge the question?

#Boeing is certainly in a big mess for both air and space, with the
#SLS affected by big delays. However, with #elonmusk CEO of #SpaceX and so close to #USA President #POTUS, it's hard not to think about a conflict of interest in this important decision.
"Boeing has informed its employees that NASA may cancel SLS contracts"
Boeing alerta a empleados sobre posible cancelación del cohete SLS de la NASA, con 400 despidos en abril 2025.
El programa Artemis enfrenta recortes bajo nueva administración Trump, priorizando Starship de SpaceX y colonizar Marte.

(Ed : Elon #DOGE folks did u just deconstruct #NASA Artemis program so China could definitely beat America on the return to the moon
and win SpaceRace 2.0 ?)

Musk’s White House is going to cancel SLS altogether. Artemis will likely be canceled too. The moon is out and Mars is in. All NASA’s money will flow to SpaceX now, because ‘efficiency’.
