The billionaire used an offensive word for people with intellectual disabilities while lashing out at Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen.
Billionaire Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s right-hand man, used a disability slur against an astronaut on his social media platform X after the astronaut accused him of lying.
In a joint interview with Trump conducted by Fox News’ Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday, Musk said that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, whose return from the International Space Station has been delayed for months, have been left in space for “political reasons.”
Both astronauts have rejected the notion that they are stranded. Wilmore told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a Feb. 13 interview that they “don’t feel abandoned.” Williams added that they were “doing pretty darn good, actually.”
Musk’s speculation about why the astronauts are still in space struck a nerve with Andreas Mogensen, a Danish astronaut with the European Space Agency, who posted on X: “What a lie.”
“And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media,” Mogensen added.
