I'm usually not one to defend Elmo, but it was a response to P47 threatening to defund SpaceX. It's like watching children. Poor USA, poor us.

One thing I wanted to ask somewhere, Jared Isaacman was NOT a Musk pick, or am I not right?
They pulled Jared Isaacman because it was revealed he had donated to Democrats.
That was their excuse. But they probably knew it already upfront, and of course Trump himself has done so and obviously knows that rich people donate to both parties just to cover their bases and that it means relatively little.
I think it's more likely that Jared was pulled at the suggestion of some staffers that never liked him or Musk in the first place but weren't able to get their way with Trump as long as Musk was still around.

That's pretty amusing, considering Trump spent decades as a NY Democrat.

They knew that from the start. He pretty much said himself it was a retaliation in the Musk/Trump situation.
He was.

Wasn't it Musk that was calling for a smaller and leaner government?
By my estimate, SpaceX has saved the US government 10s of billions by reducing launch costs with Falcon 9, developing Dragon, Starlink, etc.
DragonX is the smaller and leaner government.
No, it’s a private for profit corporation.
