The Imperial Presidency

This one isn't on the bingo card, but it could easily have replaced "tariffs" as the free space. (Something similar happened in Canada the last time we had a right-wing government. History rhymes with itself.)

And Musk has turned on Trump.

If there's one thing the guy is good at, it's burning bridges.

It looks like nearly all of the space missions are getting canceled faster than Kevin Spacey.

And Musk has turned on Trump.

Elon Musk, for a day, decided to that he was going to dismantle the crew module for SpaceX, if the federal contracts were gone, which would bring us back to the "stranded astronauts" thing all over again. But he backed off because the whole thing is pretty dumb, of course, just Twitter threats.

Trump's adviser, Steve Bannon (remember the Biosphere guy?), has said that he wants to investigate Elon's application for citizenship. It looks like the play is to strip Elon Musk of citizenship, then because a non-citizen cannot have our secrets of rocketry under law, have the government seize control of SpaceX, all completely* legally. Looks like we'll be sending Elon back to Canada, where he belongs.

No refunds, no returns! You took him, you keep him!
