Musk has no say in the ISS. No need to worry about it.
- dragonwriter 2y agoMusk is a Presidential adviser without a bounded specific portfolio, he has say in anything that (1) the executive branch has a say in, and (b) Trump chooses to listen to him on; as NASA is one of the participating agencies in ISS, the US executive branch has some role in it, and Musk could potentially exert influence over that.
- WalterBright 2y agoTrump makes the decisions, not Musk. Trump has lots of advisors. Trump has not put Musk in charge of NASA or the space program.

- ceejayoz 2y ago> Musk has no say in the ISS. This is a really absurd assertion to make in February 2025. His close buddy is the upcoming NASA administrator, and he clearly has the President's ear.
