According to a tweet from Forbes via a White House press address, President Joe Biden wishes SpaceX and Elon Musk "lots of luck" for its next mission with NASA, particularly the Artemis Moon mission. It is in response to a different issue with Musk, particularly with Tesla's plans to cut ten percent of the workforce in their company.

POTUS Biden addressed the issue and then wished the top executive of Tesla "lots of luck" on the upcoming moon mission that SpaceX has with NASA. Musk's space company plays a massive role in the Artemis mission that will be an essential venture of bringing humans to the surface.

Elon Musk responded to the tweet by expressing his thanks for the President and inserting a link to the old NASA news regarding their contract.

NASA Artemis Moon Mission: SpaceX Lander

In April, NASA decided to push through with SpaceX and its designs for the Moon lander to come with the upcoming Artemis mission. This previous venture saw Blue Origin also push for its involvement. There were many disputes regarding this, and before, Jeff Bezos pushed a lawsuit against NASA regarding this decision.

NASA and SpaceX

NASA and SpaceX work together on many space agency projects, and both have a mutual relationship that shares a lot of the advancements in space ventures to both entities. SpaceX and NASA's missions were a success in the past, and it aims to keep it that way by choosing the private space company to land humans on the Moon on Artemis' mission.

However, NASA got advice from the Senate that it should choose another space company that would build a second lander apart from SpaceX.

Now, NASA is searching for the next company that will bring humans from the Moon's orbit, where the vehicle would stay, down to the lunar surface, where the return will occur. SpaceX's design and upcoming moon lander would be the primary vehicle that NASA and the Artemis Moon mission will use in the upcoming flight by 2030.

Most of the needed support for NASA's Artemis mission that it will soon have with SpaceX got all the help it needed, especially with President Biden's recent statement and wishes. Musk thanks the President and shows that both are on good terms for the upcoming venture of the company, despite the past events.
