tl;dr: Trump and Musk are blaming Biden for "stranding" two astronauts on the space station. The reality is that their return craft has been docked since September and they weren't scheduled to come home until February anyway. That return was pushed back until April because SpaceX delayed the launch of the upcoming crew.

So tell me, Mr. Musk... why did YOU strand our astronauts in space?

Imagine being in a tincan in the vacuum of space depending on Elon and Trump to bring you home to earth ...

They could always hop in Musk's Tesla and just drive it back to Earth. I mean, it worked in Heavy Metal so Musk probably thinks it would work in reality.
