The richest man in the world’s onslaught of criticism comes just a day after Duffy told CNBC that Musk’s rocket company was falling “behind” the administration’s timeline for getting humans back to the moon, and that he would now be opening up the government contract to others – including the Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin.

The SpaceX boss made a series of posts on his social media platform X in response to Duffy’s remarks, including a GIF of a famous exchange in which an anchor asked a guest, “Why are you gay?”

But the disparagement from the Tesla co-founder did not stop there. As well as his offensive GIF post, Musk dubbed the former Fox Business co-host “Sean Dummy,” claiming he was “trying to kill” the agency.

“The person responsible for America’s space program can’t have a 2 digit IQ,” he wrote in a separate post on Tuesday.

Trump and everyone enabling and supporting him appear to have 2-digit IQs, and not among the higher 2-digit IQs.

I'd really like to see all these idiot toddlers in a giant playpen where they can play their stupid games without hurting others. Preferably off Earth. And with RW media sent along to tell them how brilliant they are.

1. What kind of loser adult uses "gay" as an insult?

Pathetic man child. All that money can’t buy basic decency.

[highplainsdem]

2. They're all pathetic children, and the longer they have any power, the more obvious that is.

[Lemon Lyman]

3. No shit

Moronic, immature scumbags. They're filthy rich, and they never progressed past a middle school mind. Nor do they ever have to because they're rich.

I see it on a smaller scale here in the midwest. People have good jobs (factory, whatever). They make a good living. They aren't that bright. They use insults like the r word or "fag" and whatnot. If they care about anything, it's only sports. I'm for everyone having good jobs, good lives. It just sucks a little that they're allowed to not care about the world around them, yet still live nice lives.

Also, opening up exploration to more companies is going to be just another way to line tangeranus's pockets. "Who wants to pay me the most to get the government contracts?"

8. Middle school is what I had in mind too

90’s middle school. Hadn’t really heard this dumb “insult” since.

What strikes me is how he lacks both a wit and sense of humor, sort of like giant cross wearing lady and the other crazy dude yelling “yo mama” to reporters.

6. The kind of guy that smokes enormous blunts

Soaked in ketamin and shit posts all day long.

[Henry203]

4. This should have never been outsourced

Space is a government function.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Nonsense. There is nothing intrinsicly governmental about exploration

Columbus was a private entrepreneur with government backing (Queen Isabella) but his little flotilla was not government.

[angrychair]

13. The point is

That these billionaire tech bros are only doing this to prop up their shitty companies and because they think it will get them first dibs on land and resources and long term support contracts for people living off world.

5. Tom Lerher died too soon before updating this song

Truth bomb: The US is once again relying on Nazis for its space program:

7. Not a playpen, a padded cell.

10. Musk has a trans child.

Can't accept his own child. He's a piece of shit.

11. Why does Musk think that is a good burn?

What is he 12?

[Cheezoholic]

12. We'll all be watching rollerball soon (already are practically)n/t

14. '...falling "behind" the administration's timeline for getting humans back to the moon...'

A waste of money and resources, a needless risk to life.

There’s no valid reason to go back to the moon – it’s just another example of Trump’s childish arrogance.

[Javaman]

15. and here we go with an other public slap fight between the infantile morons

just another sign of our country spiraling out of control.

[Crowman2009]

16. I'd respond with: What were you doing on Epstein island?

[GiqueCee]

17. Correct me if I'm wrong...

... but I thought Musk-ovitch simply bought a controlling interest in Tesla, then forced out the two men who actually built the company and developed the vehicle. I don't think that qualifies him to be referred to as "the Tesla co-founder".
I can't abide the thought of that malignant sleazeball getting credit he doesn't deserve. Musk, as the article accurately reports by quoting his outbursts, is a malicious clown with the integrity of a Puff Adder, and the moral compass of a rabid hyena.
