Musk Again 'Calls Out' Trump Administration's Decision: Cutting Space Science Budget is Worrisome

On April 12, news from Wall Street Insight reported that Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and a prominent figure in the current Trump administration, expressed his dissatisfaction on social media regarding the U.S. government's consideration of cutting the space budget. The Trump administration is considering halving the scientific budget of NASA for the fiscal year 2026. This scientific budget is primarily used for areas such as telescope development, with the current budget of $7.3 billion expected to be reduced to $3.9 billion. Musk stated that 'this move is worrisome,' expressing his dissatisfaction. This is the second time recently that Musk has publicly 'called out' the Trump administration. Previously, Musk had a debate with presidential advisors over tariff policies. #特朗普暂停新关税
