Billionaire Elon Musk vowed Tuesday to bring home two astronauts who have been stranded in space for nearly eight months “as soon as possible” and criticized the Biden White House for failing to retrieve them sooner.
The SpaceX CEO and head of the Department of Government Efficiency revealed in a social media post that President Donald Trump personally requested his help in rescuing astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The pair has been in space since last June on what was originally planned as a weeklong mission.
