Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said earlier this week that the companies were experiencing higher "inflation pressure."

It’s not going to be cheap to send a ship up to the ISS to rescue our astronaut.

I suspect the FAA will deny Musk access to the airspace to send up a rescue mission.

Is that before or after the removal of electric steering controller chips?

What on earth are you babbling about?
Musk owns the only space ship on the planet (outside Russia) capable of taking astronauts to and from the space station.
No one can stop Musk from using his own spaceship.

I thought we were supposed to switch to clean energy and buy ourselves a Tesla. I guess this rules it out for me!

Maybe it is time to invest in a couple of horses and a buggy. I can tell the neighbors that I have converted to become Amish.

Don't hate on me bro' because of the horses in the backyard and the buggy in front of the house. That's just rayciss!

More reason than ever to accelerate the transition from ICE to electric vehicles, so that those economies of scale can continue to make electric cars cheaper and cheaper, JUST LIKE COMPUTERS. /sarc
