Elon Musk faced backlash for claiming the Biden administration is politically motivated in delaying the return of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore from the ISS. Musk alleged he offered to bring them back months ago, but both astronauts denied having heard of such a plan. Bill Nelson, the former NASA administrator, also stated he had not been informed of any such offer from Musk. The astronauts emphasized their impartial stance while clarifying they lacked information regarding Musk's claims.
When asked about Musk's claims, astronaut Butch Wilmore stated, 'What was offered, what was not offered, who it was offered to, how that process went - that's information that we simply don't have.'
Bill Nelson, former NASA administrator, remarked on Musk's claims, stating, 'It certainly did not come to my attention. There was no discussion of that whatsoever.'
