Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 23, 2025

Billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has escalated his feud with secretary of transport and interim NASA administrator Sean Duffy " by using a homophobic slur. On Monday, Duffy appeared on Fox News to announce that he's "in the process of opening" the space agency's contract with SpaceX to deliver the first astronauts to the lunar surface in over half a century up to Musk's competitors as its timeline continues to slip. "I think we'll see companies like Blue get involved, and maybe others," Duffy said, referring to Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. The Amazon cofounder happens to be one of Musk's most reviled nemeses. Also, one question," Musk wrote, affixing it with a GIF of a viral clip of a Ugandan TV host infamously asking trans activist Pepe Julian Onziema in 2012 the question: "Why are you gay?"

Musk's latest missive is the kind of childish and bigoted outburst we've come to expect from the richest man in the world. Musk has used his enormous social following for discriminatory commentary for many years now, from shockingly sexist tweets to furthering outlandish antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The news comes after Musk accused Duffy " who he called "Sean Dummy" " of "trying to kill NASA" and having a "two-digit IQ."

Musk's personal pick for NASA administrator, SpaceX space tourist and fellow billionaire Jared Isaacman, was unceremoniously thrown under the bus by the Trump administration earlier this year, around the time Musk's feud with president Donald Trump escalated into a public flame war.

I've noticed that a lot of clickbait these days puts in deliberate errors in order increase engagement with the content. I see this on YouTube quite often now, and I'm sure Yahoo News and its clickbait articles probably do the same thing.
