Highlighting the fact that NASA needed Musk's firm to carry out the rescue, he said, “It should have been a huge national event. We're finally going to rescue the astronauts who were trapped in the space station .........And this super genius, Elon, is the guy who figured out how to go get them.”
He went on to say that Musk's company rescued the astronauts as nobody else did so. “We had to rely on his company and you don't hear sh*t about it. It's crazy!”
Agreeing with Rogan, Musk asserted that the media is deliberately underestimating his achievements while disseminating unfavorable stories about him.
“The goal of the left is to destroy my influence. So they relentlessly push negative propaganda about me like the fake Nazi stuff and ignore anything positive. They are evil,” Musk wrote.
