Burn! Elon Musk Tweets Biden ‘Still Sleeping’ as Explanation for not Applauding First Private SpaceX Space Flight

The Biden administration is not only botching every significant policy and global action but also snuffing celebrities. Nicki Minaj recently caused a stir calling out the White House for denying it had offered for the superstar to come visit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Now, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is calling out President Joe Biden for not acknowledging his company’s successful space orbit. Certainly, it’s hard for Joe Biden to give anyone praise while on a beach vacation. Nonetheless, who isn’t he upsetting these days?

CNBC reported Musk called out the President, throwing shade his way via Twitter over the weekend in an exchange with one of his 60 million Twitter followers.

“The President of the United States has refused to even acknowledge the 4 newest American astronauts who helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for St. Jude. What’s your theory on why that is?” the follower questioned.

He’s still sleeping

Musk responded with a swift and clean 3-word burn to POTUS: “He’s still sleeping.” Previously the billionaire has stated he “would prefer to stay out of politics” but sleepy Joe may have made him change his mind.

CNBC had previously reported on the success and safe return of SpaceX’s Crew from orbit on the Dragon spacecraft after three days in space. CNBC reported:

One major goal of the Inspiration4 mission was to raise $200 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It had raised $160.2 million by Saturday. Celebrating after Inspiration4 splashed down, Musk pledged to contribute $50 million personally — pushing the campaign’s total raised to $210 million.

The White House and SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Top NASA officials have congratulated Musk and SpaceX on the Inspiration4 mission. SpaceX competitors acknowledged it too, with accolades from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Blue Origin and Musk’s peer and rival Jeff Bezos shared on social media…

…This marked the first private SpaceX spaceflight, with a non-professional crew. Additionally, the mission involved the first Black woman to serve as a spacecraft pilot, the youngest American to become an astronaut to date, and the first person to fly in space with a prosthesis.
