Elon Musk has made headlines again, this time sharply criticising NASA’s leadership as the competition to return to the Moon intensifies. The SpaceX CEO publicly questioned NASA administrator Sean Duffy’s competence, suggesting he lacks the intelligence to effectively lead one of the world’s most influential space agencies. Musk’s comments come in the wake of NASA’s announcement that lunar lander contracts will be opened to multiple competitors, not just SpaceX. Highlighting his frustration with what he perceives as weak leadership, Musk argued that America’s space programme requires stronger, more capable guidance.
