Elon Musk Just EXPOSED The Corruption Of NASA!

senator bernie sanders requested    congress on wednesday to eliminate 10    billion dollars from a new nasa lunar    landing contract that will most likely    go to blue origin the rocket company    founded by amazon founder jeff bezos    sanders an outspoken critic of bezos and    billionaires in general claimed that    bezos and spacex founder elon musk were    exploiting nasa to bankroll their new    space race as nothing more than an atm    machine    but wondering why elon musk thinks that    jeff bezos is sanders man hello everyone    welcome back to elon musk evolution    where we bring you the most recent news    about elon musk and his multi-billion    dollar companies in today's video we'll    talk about elon musk giving a final    warning to senator sanders but before we    begin make sure you subscribe to our    channel and click the bell icon so you    don't miss any of our amazing videos and    let's get started jeff bezos and elon    musk have been feuding for years about    the performance of their rockets and    space enterprises which peaked during a    debate over who may use a nasal    launchpad and who was the first to land    safely a rocket but now the two    billionaires who are among the world's    wealthiest men are locked in a bitter    battle that pits two massive business    empires against each other in battles    that are taking place in the courts the    federal communications commission and    the halls of congress in what has become    one of the most acrimonious business    rivalries in a generation what started    as a battle between musk spacex and    bezos blue origin space business over a    big nasa contract to land men on the    moon has now expanded to include a race    to develop a broadband satellite service    in space that brawl has intensified and    become more personal spacex has been    deploying a network of satellites that    might number in the thousands to    transmit internet communications to    earth for the past few years amazon has    a similar strategy with its cooper    program amazon contested a spacex    application to the fcc to change its    proposal claiming that the revision    would violate the fcc's guidelines    spacex responded it didn't hold back    spacex only dismissed amazon's technical    ability accusing the corporation of    attempting to prolong spacex's efforts    to compensate for its own failures    amazon's track record according to    spacex amply illustrates that as it lags    behind competitors it is more than    prepared to exploit regulatory and legal    processes to create impediments meant to    delay those competitors from putting    amazon even further behind amazon    retaliated accusing musk of blatantly    breaking lawful restrictions time and    again the behavior of spacex and other    musk led enterprises makes their point    clear rules are for other people and    those who insist on or even just seek    compliance are deserving of scorn and ad    hominem assaults amazon stated in its    statement with the regulator then spacex    filed again    another week another amazon protest    against a competitor and still no    indication of movement on amazon's own    long rumored satellite system the    company wrote in a letter to the fcc    since the days of andrew carnegie and    john d rockefeller over a century ago    american enterprise has been built on    ferocious competition between    industrialists musk and bezos are now    creating a new chapter focused on space    a sector idealized by popular culture    and sentimentality for the 1960s apollo    period but which has risen in recent    years as one of the most fascinating    industries with immense development    potential both bezos and musk present    their space goals as ways to aid    humanity whether by developing a    metropolis on mars as musk desires or    colonies in earth's orbit as bezos    imagines but according to margaret    o'mara a university of washington    professor and author of the code silicon    valley in the remaking of america a    history of the technology period space    is also a big financial opportunity    they're not government employees they're    business people she explained space is    an obsession for both of these    billionaires but it is also a developing    sector with plenty of money to be made    last year blue origin spent nearly 2    million dollars on lobbying since 2013    the corporation has progressively    strengthened its presence in washington    with lobbying spending increasing as    bezos and must compete for supremacy in    the space economy in the first quarter    of 2022 blue origin spent 560 000 on    lobbying lobbyists focused on problems    linked to nasa for multiple bills    according to lobbying records filed on    april 20th two blue origin lobbyists are    coming to the corridors of congress    where they previously worked megan    mitchell blue origins vice president of    government affairs previously worked as    a fellow and senior consultant on space    an aeronautic policy for representative    steve palazzo from 2012 until 2015 when    she departed to work for blue origin    palazzo is a member of the house    appropriations committee in the commerce    justice science and related agencies    subcommittee where mitchell leads    lobbying efforts on space transportation    and nasa concerns in the commerce    justice science and related agencies    appropriations act of 2022. mitchell has    also worked previously for the federal    aviation administration which she now    represents on blue origin's behalf jason    sussovich another blue origin lobbyist    spent more than 15 years on capitol hill    dealing with national security and    military affairs before joining blue    origin as the head of national security    space policy in 2021 during his time    susavich worked in both the house and    the senate while lobbying filings    clearly stating that he does not lobby    in the senate given his recent role as    director of national security policy and    senior adviser to senator dan sullivan    he did however fight for blue origin in    the house where he worked alongside    mitchell from 2006 to 2015 on measures    such as the national defense    authorization act build back better and    the appropriations bill saslovich was    also an ex-military legislative    assistant to representative don young    our alaska the dean of the house and the    longest-serving member of congress who    died last month this november blue    origin lost a 2.9 billion lunar landing    contract to spacex the contract dispute    was a complicated ordeal that    exemplified bezos and musk's bad blood    in their government-funded endeavors    into space the blue origin pack has    donated more than two hundred thousand    dollars to federal candidates and groups    in advance of the 2022 midterm elections    including contributions to officials on    committees where the corporation hopes    to advocate blue origins pac gave ten    thousand dollars to house armed services    committee chair representative adam    smith the cycle another six thousand    dollars was given to representative matt    cartwright chair of the house commerce    justice science and related agencies    subcommittee and another six thousand    dollars was given to representative    charlie crist who serves on the house    appropriations committee and the house    committee on space science and    technology this year the pac has    contributed equally to democrats and    republicans in 2018 bezos donated 10    million dollars to the with honor fund    blue origin and spacex are fighting for    supremacy in the space industry as the    federal government prepares to increase    spending on space security top pentagon    contractors such as lockheed martin and    northrop grumman are also competing    during the company's first quarter    earnings report northrop grumman ceo    kathy warden stated that space continues    to be one of the fastest growing    military budget sectors with a 30    percent plus year-over-year rise blue    origin and spacex are fighting for    dominance in the space industry as the    federal government prepares to increase    spending on space defense top pentagon    contractors such as lockheed martin and    northrop grumman are also competing    during the company's first quarter    earnings call northrop grumman ceo kathy    warden stated that space continues to be    one of the fastest growing defense    budget sectors with a 30 plus    year-over-year rise but federal    contracts aren't the only thing that    could help space entrepreneurs in an    op-ed in the guardian sanders chastised    both billionaires for attempting to use    federal funds to fund their space    ventures but he also warned that the    companies stand to profit handsomely    from government-funded space exploration    as the 2015 space launch competitiveness    act allows private firms to own any    resources discovered in space the    reality is that the space economy which    today mostly consists of private    companies essentially free of charge    utilizing nasa facilities and technology    to launch satellites into orbit which is    already very lucrative and has the    potential to become exponentially more    profitable in the long run sanders wrote    the modern era of space exploration and    technology has begun one that may rival    the 1960s in historical significance and    intensity it's unclear whether these    advances will be met with the same    cultural fervor that made the previous    space age feel so distinct this time    public interest in space is powered less    by fantasy and more by the agendas of    powerful billionaires space exploration    comes at a high price one that most    citizens cannot afford even if they save    for a lifetime the average american's    annual salary is roughly one-tenth of a    450 000 virgin galactic space ticket    even if musk's far-fetched vision is    meant to be a humanistic reminder it's    easy to see why the public is so    apathetic about space but it will still    remain that spacified appears to be a    wish fulfillment for the wealthy and    that's for today's
