I'm for whatever makes the billionaires richer.

From 0.5% to 0.25%. Or from $25 billion to $12.5 billion.
Basically they wanted to give elon some more pocket money.

Great! NASA never gave us anything, other than giant leaps in technology.

Well good thing they have a viable private rocket company as an alternative which *checks notes* just failed its 2nd consecutive launch attempt

They'll probably walk that back when Elon notices he won't be getting money from NASA, because they scratched a bunch of programs.

They'll scratch *all* of the programs, and the remaining 50% of the money goes to Musk.
