ANOTHER VIEW: Musk should cut the NASA budget first thing

By Jack Bernard  |  Elon Musk was referring to the Trump created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). And what would he tackle first? Musk is a true showman, wanting center stage. His comments reflect that fact. But I question whether he really believes what he stated.
