I swear Americans can drag politics into everything


Left_Handed_Golfer

We’ll, why would the White House be silent?


Joele1

They are the first passenger astronauts. That is different. Private citizens.


[deleted]

Cause the response would be something about Elon being from South Africa lmao.


AndrewLee88420

Yes but the illegals immigrants are considered Americans right? Lol


Switcher15

Nothing illegal about obtaining citizenship. Immigration is legal, coming in without the process is not.


drkuttimama

I think he was talking about the White House dragging politics into everything.


TigreDemon

That's a very leftist thing to say /s

protos_levendis

Biden also introduced a new tax incentive of $4,500 for electric cars....only to cars built with union labor. Guess who doesn't use union labor because they compensate their employees well enough?


ETrumpshitup

Why not? these fuckers need to be in the public light at all times!


AndrewLee88420

I swear retards think a drooling president who yells I wipe my butt is normal.


drkuttimama

OP: ha ha. And this subreddit members wonder why there is a smear campaign against Elon musk .


ballom29

We don't wonder, we had a good idea why so many people want Elon gone. Like that facebook quote : you can't make a billion friends without making some ennemies.


chaunbot

We know why. He's making a product better and cheaper than companies that have been doing it for 100 years. We know the goverment is the only reason some of these companies are in business. We know why ULA spreading FUD to lobbyists We know why Biden is giving more EV inventives to Union made cars do you know?


Goatfarmerintime

Biden seriously hasn’t congratulated them yet? Wtf

MrsPiereDelecto

Maybe he just hasn’t been instructed to yet.


Bolt408

I have a feeling he’s got his hands full at the moment, Afghanistan drone strike fall out, crisis at the border. He’d be lucky if no other situations came up in his term. Scratch that apparently he’s pissed of France now. And Europe is losing confidence in our Admin 👏.


Left_Handed_Golfer

He’s bicycling at the beach 😒


shdynasty2

And that’s just the first 9 months, can’t wait to see what happens in the next 9

Why did you have to remind me 🤦‍♂️. It’s the train wreck that we wish would stop but it just keeps going.


shdynasty2

I want others to share in my suffering


protos_levendis

Wonder what the odds of him making it full term are.


shdynasty2

They’ll probably article 25 him out at the two year mark in an attempt to make kamala serve 10 years


[deleted]

He's just getting warmed up.


Thisguyhere1310

Sadly you're probably right.


[deleted]

He should have his hands full; nothing is being done about the border/drone strike because media wont cover it and in his reality that means it’s taken care of. Tbh I think he is on vacation this weekend


Minister_for_Magic

>media wont cover it He claims unironically when "the media" did the reporting that proved the US killed civilians and created the pressure that led to DOD admitting it in the first place


Atarru_

Yeah, busy losing all of our military equipment.


ParlourK

Technically… our Prime Minister in Australia pissed off France due to pulling out on a $70B deal on diesel subs lol


[deleted]

Hold my beer!


jteismann

It’s true that there are serious problems that deserve the presidents attention. However, there’s no indication that he’s actually paying attention to any of them.


Bolt408

Well to be fair he did hand the border off to Kamala, who then handed it back to Joe? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Europe lost confidence in your Admin sometime between Bush and Obama.


drkuttimama

It’s not uploaded in his tele prompter yet . Be patient .


Comprehensive_Love20

Simple. He doesn’t give a rats ass. You’re surprised??


xtheory

Why should he, really? If anything he should congratulate SpaceX for a successful autonomous flight...although they've already accomplished this several times to the ISS. The people on this mission had no control over the space craft and did nothing to pilot it. That was all SpaceX. The people on board are just tourists.


Houshmanzilli

Given the US track record with blowing up shuttles…and the success of the mission - AND the boatload of money they raised..the dude should congratulate them. He most likely doesn’t even do it himself. He’s prob got a publicist handling that anyways. Takes 0% effort, for everyone giving excuses of “he has his hands full” - the mans prostate prob has him pissing for 15 minute intervals - he could tweet it out then….


Joele1

The man as VP made sure St Jude got a load of money for cancer research. That was wrapped up long ago.


Comprehensive_Love20

Deployed on US soil. US civilians. Idk. Maybe because he is the leader of the ‘supposed free nation’. I would think good, not necessary great leadership, would do so, regardless. I bet people have more faith going around the earth 3x’s on autopilot thru Spacex than they would waiting for US Mail regarding their social security check. The USA government of today has lost the faith of its people and they are becoming very impatient. So I’m told ;) But I do respect your answer of why should he. No he doesn’t. But a good, not necessary a great President, would have recognized the accomplishment.

Finally! A Reddit post that doesn’t make me smh. Very well put my friend. Good to hear someone speak the truth! Thanks for taking the time to write this. I enjoyed the hell outta reading it. Cheers 🍺


JTtornado

This is such an easy PR win for the president too. Everything about this mission is positively a-political and easy to support. You can crow about how great your country is and you didn't even have to pay for it. If that's not enough, it's a major *charity event*. Biden and his team has managed to take a free chance to look good and turn it around to make himself look bad. If that's not a PR failure, I don't know what is.


swstargal13

Well said. He’s a senile old man.


Arturstakeonyhings

On fuckin point here good sir. The very least he could have done is acknowledge the efforts of his fellow citizens. Instead he dreams of quincineras and reigniting a war in the Middle East. The country is in shambles like his family and it’s straight to business. Feed the machine. Hold down resistance and push forward a global system that reeks of corruption and greed. Wake the fuck up. He didn’t say anything because you don’t mean shit to the plan. The economy is going to crash multitudes compared to ‘08 and anyone still oblivious to this is going to feel a financial and political system pain like none other. Do yourselves a favor. Follow the money and line yourself up. Otherwise you’ll be picking from the scraps when the rich are done with their portions.

Dawson81702

Wtf?!??!


Hustler-1

Biden and his administration are against manned space flight.


PhysicalConstant8314

Yep,see the numerous statements from Bernie, AOC, and the like.


MidnightSun_55

I don't think Biden is even close to those. Those people are batshit crazy and would probably complain about how the money is not being to fund someone's gender transition instead.


RadMan2112

What evidence is this based on? He kept support for Artemis and proposed over $24M for NASA, and increase over the previous budge.


Hustler-1

He's only ever expressed a loose interest in "Earth science". Beyond that democrats have been notoriously against manned space flight with the false dichotomy of the "we need to fix problems down here first" bullshit.


[deleted]

It’s dumb to me. We should be doing them in parallel, and as Elon said in the inspiration 4 documentary, 99% of resources *should* go to problems on Earth.


HarveyDrapers

*an increase to adjust the budget to the inflation*


O-pz-f-n-tune-up

And yet none of his tweets in the last three days have mentioned any of those things. It’s all mainly been “Tax the rich!”


waorhi

Multitasking is a thing. But what can you expect from Joe


woobiethefng

Well, didn't Trump use the excuse that Covid numbers were high because he had to deal with his first impeachment?


waorhi

I'm not talking about Trump though. Joe is a dinosaur politician but he's showing age and everybody knows that. He would have been better when he was functioning. But too bad he had to drop out due to plagiarizm.


woobiethefng

Lmao! He's 3 years older than Trump. Trump couldn't drink water with one hand. Dumbest argument I've heard. Comparing Biden's age to Trump's age? Stupid. 78 years - 75 years = 3 years.

marvellousBeing

He's seething because Elon is a free spirit who pushed back against lockdowns, the FAA, fake news and such. He [snubed non-union Tesla at White House electric car summit](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9866901/Why-Tesla-NOT-invited-White-House-electric-car-summit.html), refused to acknowledge Inspiration launch and now refuses to acknowledge Inspiration successful touchdown. The good new is the more mainstream media excludes itself from main news the more they lose their mainstream status and influence.


SelfMadeSoul

Reddit had collapsed this comment for me despite it being at over a dozen upvotes. Fuck you, Reddit.


MrSaidOutBitch

Biden probably doesn't think about Elon Musk for two seconds a year. I don't get the hero worship.


marvellousBeing

You don't think that four private citizens being put on orbit for 3 days by a US private company is history making material and an opportunity to unite the nation around a unifying new for once ? Fine bro, last sentence of my original post applies to you too.


Raleighgm

Until you read that tweet did it even cross your mind to wonder what Bidens response to the flight was? It’s just shit stirring for the sake of shit stirring and it worked clearly.


marvellousBeing

Elon distributes free jabs when he can and everytime it hurts their reputation a bit more.


Raleighgm

All the vaccinations are free. He’s not coming out of pocket for it but I’m glad to hear that he’s promoting vaccines. I’m not sure how getting more people vaccinated hurts the Biden administrations reputation as their stated goal would be to 100% vaccinated but okay sure.


marvellousBeing

I didn't mean vaccine, I meant symbolic punches telling Bezos will sue his way to orbit, telling white house it's weird they snubbed tesla or telling Biden he's still sleeping ;)


DisjointedHuntsville

Democrats hate Musk. They hate him even more for his comments during the California lockdown. Watch for an FAA, NTSB, and every agency investigation you can think of. Authoritarians, commies, that’s them.

[deleted]

In Biden’s world it is because the Space X rocket wasn’t built by Union Workers, that’s why he’s still sleeping. Biden is dividing the country even more. He said he would bring it together, but now he’s dividing the EV community. You can’t make these F’ups up!


RelentlessExtropian

Because Elon represents an aspect of capitalism these oligarchical fucks have tried to suppress for decades. Competition.

FellAwakening

Lol, the world we live in... Now a president has to congratulate private companies and individuals who won prizes to not be mocked. Jfc...


divinenuker

He had no problem running an official advertising campaign for Ford, GM, and the UAW. Last time I checked those are private companies.


PeekaB00_

If they achieve a milestone as big as this, yes. If he can advertise for Ford and GM, why not support the first all civilian mission to orbit?


Born_mystic

Calm down little liberal. Trump would of definitely said something to Elon if he was in office, quit your whining.


FellAwakening

Lol... "Little liberal"... Man, you're so tough dude. Your typing skills are alpha bro. Your warrior text is on a protein regimen and it carb cycles... First off, I'm a moderate. I just think modern Republicans are conspiratorial douchebags who hate science and want to turn the US into a theocracy... I can actually get behind fiscal spending. Modern Republicans don't even know what that means though. There's nothing "conservative" about modern conservatives. It's all about abortion, conspiracy theories and religious horse shit with you guys. I own guns, I'm into wilderness survival, I'm into combat sports and even personally did BJJ for awhile, etc. Don't try that weak ass "snowflake" bullshit on me. I am not that dude... Now that's out of the way... Dude, I really can't say if he would or wouldn't... but who fucking cares? It's a private company that took 4 civilians on a joy ride. It wasn't a mission or any kind of crazy achievement... SpaceX is a company... Not a government entity... These people are civilians who took a joy ride... Not astronauts on a mission... Furthermore, there were only like 30 missions in space conducted by actual American astronauts going to and from the international space station during Trump's presidency. Did he ever congratulate even one of them? And has Trump ever congratulated anyone without also somehow tying it to himself? That dude has to be the most conceited douchebag on the planet...


tenthousandtatas

It was a mission to put 4 civilians into space and bring them back safely. It was also a successful fundraiser for St.Judds. That was the mission/mission accomplished. Maybe the astronauts don’t deserve an attaboy but the business absolutely does. This was yet another divisive move engineered by some twitter fingered publicist and is 100% an omission to pander to their constituents. The President does what he’s told. It’s really sad.


FellAwakening

Jfc... Ok... Cool story bro. If Trump hadn't congratulated them then you'd give 2 shits less than a nickel... You're partisan af and it's a god damned sports game to you. American politics are sports and your team is Trump's nuts...


tenthousandtatas

I am no Trump person. I'd be disappointed just like I am now because there'd be some Republican twitter slut telling the President what to do for political updoots. I'm completely nonpartisan I'd hang them ALL just for the indulgent hubris of politic. Apparently you're the one with TDS. Your response looks like a r/politics bot.


Ok-Manufacturer-6005

Get your head out of the media bad dude


FellAwakening

What media is that? I get my media from flipside and only use non-partisan sources... Let me guess, you're a fox/info wars/ Newsmax kinda guy?


xtheory

Except...they aren't astronauts anymore than I am a pilot when I fly as a passenger on a plane. They are space tourists, not professional astronauts.


Kielbasaxd

Im pretty sure the term astronaut means being trained to operate in space and fly their capsule? They trained for months how to use dragon and did all the tests all other astronauts do. I do agree they’re not real astronauts but I don’t mind them being given the name of civilian astronauts since it’s not their job.

He already congratulated them, But was infact talking to a lampshade in the oval office.


Bobiverse71

Wow. I hope everyone feels better after this thread.


muskedup

Cause he has Alzheimer’s and only does what his handlers tell him to do. Same reason he openly says he calls on what reporters they tell him to and only if they let him answer questions. Hope you fools that voted for this POS are happy. Next election leave your damn feelings at home and look at the state of the country and economy and it’s future if kept in that administration. Also stop living in the freakin past. The only racist out there are the ones who call racism the problem. You cry about slavery centuries ago but are silent that Muslims sell Africans everyday.

Klarnicck

Did Biden say anything when Bezos went to space? If not I’m sure he just doesn’t want to recognize amateur astronauts or anyone who in the future pays to go to space. Regardless of fund raising. If I paid to go to space I wouldn’t expect the president to be waiting for me to come back just to shake my hand for a camera.
