The extra stupid thing is that they'll probably won't save anything in the next 4 years anyways with how long timelines are for space planning. They'll just waste an incredible amount of investment. This is just such petty and cruel retaliation against anything related to climate science.

They just enjoy smashing stuff others value for no reason.

Oh right... Elon gets rid of all the competition and space startups that rely on NASA outsourcing their rockets, while he maintains his contracts they go bankrupt. Holy shit.

So many terrible things are happening, people are overwhelmed and dazed and it's hard to see what is Kakistocracy and what is Kleptocracy / disaster capitalism. It's both and part of the strategy of course.

The only rational US news would be a call for revolution and overthrow of the regime. Any other news are therefor irrational and add to the confusion. Hence the confusion.
