Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, called on Thursday for the impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump as the dispute between the two men reached new heights.
Musk's call came in response to a user on his platform "X" (formerly Twitter) who wrote: "President vs. Elon. Who will win? I bet on Elon. Trump must be impeached, and (his deputy) JD Vance should replace him," to which Musk replied: "Yes."
In another post, Musk said: "In light of the president's statement regarding the cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will immediately begin shutting down the Dragon spacecraft."
This move could have devastating effects on the International Space Station and NASA.
According to SpaceX, the Dragon spacecraft is "the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning large amounts of cargo to Earth," in addition to its ability to carry 7 passengers.
This is crucial for transporting cargo and passengers to the International Space Station.
The SpaceX Dragon capsule helped return NASA astronauts who were stranded at the International Space Station for 9 months when Boeing's vehicle faced issues.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
However, later, Elon Musk backtracked and announced that he would not shut down the "Dragon" program, writing: "You are right" in response to a post from billionaire Bill Ackman urging Musk and Trump to end their disputes.
