U.S. President Trump said in a telephone interview on the 7th local time that his relationship with Musk has ended and he does not intend to repair the relationship. The American "Rolling Stone" magazine reported on the 7th that US President Trump's team is liquidating the "betrayal" of former head of the government's efficiency department, Musk, in the posture of a "political divorce case". This public break that began on the 5th has evolved into a cruel test of taking sides. Meanwhile, NASA and the Pentagon are also accelerating their search for alternative options for SpaceX.
Rolling Stone magazine quoted a senior White House official as saying that if Musk wants to repair the relationship, he needs to show unprecedented humility. White House staff have begun to contact their common allies, including party big money owners, conservative celebrities, etc., asking them to take sides.
Several officials from the Trump administration also confirmed that after the break news was made public, allegiance messages sent by political and business elites to the Trump team flocked. And Musk has begun to delete tweets that criticize Trump under tremendous pressure. Some officials said that "The federal government can restart the investigation at any time", referring to the controversy arising from Musk's previous leadership in the Ministry of Efficiency.
According to the Washington Post on the 7th, after Trump had an argument with Space X CEO Musk,Representatives of NASA and the Pentagon called on Musk competitors to speed up the development of alternative rockets and spacecraft. Government officials reportedly contacted at least three commercial space companies, including Rocket Labs, Stoke Space Technology and Blue Origins, to learn about their rocket status and when it can be used for government missions.
Musk previously stated that it might stop the flight of the Dragon spacecraft, which would prevent NASA from getting astronauts to and from the International Space Station, and the Pentagon also relies heavily on Space X to launch its critical satellites. Although Musk later abandoned the threat, his statements raised concerns among NASA and Pentagon officials.
