There is a moon mission and a starship variant is supposed to get people on and off the moon in 2027. Probably wants that cancelled and changed to a manned Mars mission with new, further away deadlines. Such a mission would be probably be cancelled anyways due to the much higher difficulty allowing him to save face by blaming regulators etc and promising SpaceX will colonize Mars “in the next 5 years”™.

It was not even the framework for countries the US rebuilt like Germany and Japan.

As if Israel would let the US take what it (wrongly) considers theirs.

Twitter was absolutely a free speech issue, it’s just not a legal issue because despite all the propaganda the US free speech protections are very narrow in scope, only applying to the government.

It also reflects a more general trend in US mindsets where it’s only the government that can violate people’s rights and not private entities. To an extend it helps this takeover by Musk, they are not “real government” they are outsiders that are taking on the “deep” state.
