Musk says SpaceX will no longer decommission Dragon spacecraft despite Trump feud. Elon Musk said Thursday he changed his mind about decommissioning SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft after a user on the social platform X suggested he “cool off and take a step back” amid his public blowout with President Trump.

Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. He taught himself computer programming and at age twelve sold the computer code for a video game. He moved to Canada in 1988 and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, with both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees.

SpaceX, with billions of dollars in government contracts, flies people and cargo to the ISS, launches satellites for the Pentagon and develops satellites used by intelligence agencies.
