Elon Musk, the billionaire and former head of the White House’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” slapped away an olive branch extended by the president on Thursday, keeping the feud between them alive.

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects its workforce to decrease by 3,780 to about 14,000, the agency’s spokesperson Cheryl Warner said.

SpaceX boss Elon Musk has promised to lay out his company’s plans for the mighty Starship rocket in an upcoming event. In a post on X on Thursday night, he said the presentation will take place shortly before the rocket’s 10th flight test, which is expected to take place next in the first half of next month.

But as Trump’s new laws come into force, it seems that he is reigning regulatory blows down on his old pal’s business. In an attempt to play down the consequences, even Musk admits Tesla is likely to suffer “a few rough quarters” during what he calls “a weird transition period where we’ll lose a lot of incentives” to buy his cars.

Of all the threats that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk hurled at one another as their alliance fell apart, those targeting Musk’s contracts with the US government have the potential to do the most damage.

Elon Musk issued a statement following a major global outage that knocked thousands of Starlink users offline late Thursday.

SpaceX is nine full-scale test launches into developing its Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built. But will it ever work?

No one doubts that rocket tests mean failures, but the question for Starship is this: Is it just having extended teething pains, or are its failures a symptom of a fundamentally unworkable design that will never be fixed?

President Donald Trump’s administration may be expanding its options for key Golden Dome components to contractors beyond Elon Musk’s SpaceX,
