Topics
Donald Trump: 我曾经和Elon Musk关系很好,但是自从他对我的税收法案提出批评后,我们的关系就破裂了。我认为他之前对这个法案的各个方面都很清楚,而且一直没有问题,直到他离开后才开始批评。现在他对我的公司构成威胁,这让我不得不考虑取消与他公司的所有政府合同。 Elon Musk: 特朗普总统对我的批评让我感到失望,但我仍然认为我们应该努力解决分歧。虽然我曾威胁要停止SpaceX的Dragon飞船项目,但在听取了各方意见后,我决定撤回这个决定。我希望我们能够冷静下来,为了国家的利益继续合作。 Trevor Honeycutt: 特朗普和马斯克之间的争端是可以预见的,因为他们都是非常自我的人。共和党内部对这次分裂感到担忧,因为他们希望在特朗普的领导下保持团结。马斯克似乎认真对待了特朗普的威胁,并考虑停止Dragon飞船项目,这显示了事态的严重性。 Joey Roulette: 美国在太空探索方面非常依赖SpaceX,SpaceX的猎鹰9号火箭承担了大部分五角大楼卫星和NASA科学载荷的发射任务。如果特朗普政府真的取消与SpaceX的合同,将会对美国的太空计划造成重大打击。SpaceX与美国政府之间存在着千丝万缕的联系,取消合同的影响将是巨大的。 Common Crimmins: 特朗普和马斯克之间的争端已经对特斯拉的股价产生了负面影响,投资者纷纷抛售特斯拉股票,导致公司市值大幅下跌。这场争端对马斯克的商业帝国构成了严重威胁,因为政府可能会出台不利于特斯拉的政策。马斯克将特斯拉的未来押注在自动驾驶技术上,任何负面消息都可能引发投资者的担忧。

Shownotes Transcript

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off government contracts to Elon Musk’s companies after he suggested the President should be impeached. Elon Musk threatens – and then rolls it back – a decommission of SpaceX’s Dragon – the only U.S. spacecraft capable of sending astronauts to the ISS. And we look at Trump’s travel ban as the administration intensifies its immigration crackdown.

  • This pod has been updated to remove references to a potential telephone call between President Trump and Elon Musk. A White House official said on Friday that no phone call between the two men is planned for the day.
