As the Polish Press Agency unofficially learned, Musk's decision is not to affect the plans of the Ax-4 mission. However, there is no authoritative confirmation. The launch is scheduled for next Tuesday, June 10.
"Space" Muska's fight with Trump
It all started with Elon Musk's departure from the informal but subject to the Trump administration of DOGE. Its task was to cut the cost of the state's operations. Musk harshly criticized Trump's eyeful bill "One large Beautiful Bill Act" (a bill on 1 big, beautiful bill). It is simply a national task on budget agreement, addressing, among others, borders, defence, energy spending and taxation policy.
And cuts in social programs, like medical or food aid. But the cuts, according to Musk, are besides tiny and the evil bill. Trump and Musk went from discussion to open argument. yet Musk attacked Trump, claiming his name was on Epstein's "list". It's about the case file of a dead billionaire pedophile who offered to his friends, the world's powerful, sex with minors.
The case file was expected to be declassified, officially the FBI has been working on anonymizing the victims' data for months. But it's inactive a secret.
Trump first felt that Musk had "crazed", started attacking himself.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced yesterday (Thursday 5 June) that he would immediately retreat from usage Dragona. Trump replied that the best way to save money in the budget would be to cancel US government contracts with Muska companies.
"The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to end government grants and Elon contracts. I was always amazed that Biden didn't do it!" - wrote president Trump.
He hit a delicate point due to the fact that deals with Musk companies are the biggest origin of income for a billionaire. It delivers people and goods to the global Space Station and the widely understood orbit.
What about the Ax-4 mission?
The flight of the Pole Sławomir Uznański-Wiśniewski into space is part of it. The situation is complicated due to the fact that Ax-4 is not NASA's authoritative mission, it is organized by Axiom Space. It uses Space-x equipment and NASA-owned port Kennedy Space Center.
For now, the Ax-4 mission is scheduled for Tuesday 10 June, at 8:22 local time. In Poland it will then be 14:22. Of course, there are various delays.
