Get the popcorn ready, this is going to be a rollercoaster over the next few weeks. The Tesla share price has already taken a 15% hit today and Elon has threatened to decommission Dragon 1 & 2, America's only working space craft for shuttling astronauts. How do you think this is going to play out next?
I hope the fallout is just the trading of words and everything will cool off in the nick of time because if Elon Musk goes ahead with the decommissioning of Dragon 1 & 2, it will have significant implications for the American economy. Many persons are going to lose their jobs, NASA's ISS operations will be disrupted, and scientific research and space tourism will be affected. Any drastic decision like this will have severe consequences.
