‘Why are you gay?’: Elon Musk’s feud with acting Nasa chief Sean Duffy explained

Elon Musk and acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy reignited their feud this week after Duffy criticised SpaceX for falling behind on the Artemis lunar programme and announced he would open the $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to competitors, including Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin. The clash comes months after President Trump withdrew Musk ally Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA, a decision that sparked early tensions between Musk and the administration’s space team.
