I hadn’t thought of a political angle for this, but that does make sense. Announcing “Elon saves NASA” certainly helps the GOP more.

- WillPostForFood 2y agoIt clearly helps SpaceX, Musk mostly indirectly, and GOP not at all.
- booi 2y agoElon is the maga crowd's newest talking head so it helps the GOP at least a little.
- Covzire 2y agoWhy does this kind of partisan bickering only ever go one way on HN? Why does every decision have to be a careful calculus when one political party instead of another might get credit? Do people not realize how blatantly biased and partisan they sound?
- allenrb 2y agoMaybe because there’s a larger overlap between HN demographics and those of the Democratic Party versus those of the GOP? That’s beside the point, though. NASA is an agency of the United States Government. The idea that politics do not come into play is naive at best.
