What an amazing team. Enjoyed every minute of SRS @ShawnRyan762 @SRS_jeremy
Excited to dive into the @KiddPoteet interview on The Shawn Ryan Show dropping tomorrow. Scottโs insights were profound. As the mission pilot for SpaceXโs Polaris Dawn and a retired Air Force Lt. Col. with an incredible career thereโs something for everyone. From combat

After spending 20yrs flying fighters, there are few I trust when flying formation within inchesโฆ@rookisaacman is one of them. Iโve also witnessed his ability to perform under the most stressful of circumstances traveling 17,500mph while orbiting the earth higher than anyone has

I am optimistic that @DOGE can fix the DoD contractors, help the pentagon pass an audit and get us back to receiving the best capabilities at the lowest priceโfor the benefit of taxpayers and the warfighters risking their lives for our freedom ๐บ๐ธ What would I do? - Eliminate
@rookisaacman How would you fix it?

Another TLDR coming your way. Having spent a decade as the founder and CEO of a defense aerospace company, I saw firsthand many of the inefficiencies in the system. Thatโs why I am genuinely excited about what @DOGE could accomplish. As things inevitably change, it is healthy
Elon Musk's DOGE wants to 'delete' entire government agencies, per BI. Which agency should be deleted?

NEWS: California Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley congratulates Elon Musk and @SpaceX on its historic Polaris Dawn mission on the floor of the Capital. He also criticizes the FAA for fining SpaceX and delaying Starship launch approvals. โThere simply should not be delays
