Reply to comment by Kayyam in SpaceX, NASA targeting separate Moon launches days apart by sasko12

Probably. Musk got a tax break with China days after his Taiwan comment. You have to wonder what he got for his Ukraine comments.

This whole deal was interesting because his relations with russia are horrible. He tried to buy refurbished ICBMs from them before founding SpaceX, they insulted him and raised prices. He then went to basically eat Roscosmos' Market share and they criminalized owning a Starlink dish in Russia.

so generally relations are not great.

I do wonder what he could possibly get from Russia.
