Now, Musk and President Trump are continuing the "stranded" narrative, even though none of the astronauts aboard the ISS lack a ride home. "They didn't have the go-ahead with Biden. He was going to leave them in space," the president said during the Fox interview, before turning to Musk to ask, "When are you going to launch?"

The president and his right-hand man baselessly accused Joe Biden of stranding Boeing astronauts on the ISS for political reasons.

President Donald Trump and SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk reiterated claims in a televised interview that NASA astronauts were “abandoned” on the ISS.

NASA will send astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home from the International Space Station early on a previously used SpaceX Dragon space capsule, not on a brand-new one, the agency announced.

Starliner astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, who have been stranded on the International Space Station since June, are now expected to come home next moth.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue lying that the Biden administration “abandoned” two astronauts in space, even after the astronauts themselves debunked the claim. NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore took off on a test flight in a Boeing Starliner last June.
