NASA administrator Bill Nelson called for an investigation into a report that Elon Musk has been having secret conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin while dually involved in classified intelligence contracts with the U.S. government.

“I don’t know that that story is true. I think it should be investigated,” Nelson said Fridayat a Semafor conference in Washington. “If the story’s true, that there have been multiple conversations between Elon Musk and the president of Russia, then I think that would be concerning, particularly for NASA, the Department of Defense, for some of the intelligence agencies.”

    NASA is the only one that needs to maintain a good PR to continue getting funding. Funding that, correct me if I’m wrong, only gets approved by one side. Not the one Musky boy is reping.

      Wait, what?!? I’m genuinely perplexed if you think that NASA funding comes only from Dems…

        I think they’re alluding to the fact that Republicans often support reducing funding for NASA. Not that the money directly comes from Democrats.
