Elon Musk and acting NASA chief Sean Duffy clashed publicly over the Artemis lunar mission, escalating tensions between SpaceX and the US space agency. Duffy, who also serves as Transportation Secretary, criticised SpaceX for falling behind schedule on its $2.9 billion lunar lander contract and said NASA would invite other companies, including Blue Origin, to compete. Musk responded on X, calling Duffy "Sean Dummy" and accusing him of trying to "kill NASA," while defending SpaceX's progress and advocating for former Trump nominee Jared Isaacman to lead the agency. The feud underscores the pressure to beat China in the growing space race and leaves NASA's leadership future uncertain.
