Elon Musk fumed at a International Space Station astronaut who called out his lies, then immediately called for the station's destruction.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recommended hastening the end of the International Space Station on his social media site X, arguing that the orbiting laboratory should be taken out of orbit within two years instead of the current five-year target.

Musk has been spearheading aggressive cost-cutting measures across federal agencies, including those tasked with regulating his businesses.
