elon musk has accused the biden administration of delaying spacex mission to bring nasa astronauts sunita williams and barry “butch” wilmore back to earth.
the astronauts have been aboard the international space station (iss) since June 2024 due to technical issues with boeing’s starliner capsule, which extended their mission indefinitely.
musk claims that political motives influenced the decision to postpone their return, suggesting that the administration did not want the rescue to take place before the presidential election. according to him, spacex was ready to bring them back months ago but was allegedly denied permission.

however, the astronauts have disputed these claims. in a press conference from the iss, wilmore acknowledged the unexpected extension of their mission but stated that politics played no role in the delay. he emphasized that their prolonged stay was based on technical factors, and they were fully prepared for such contingencies.
nasa has announced plans to bring wilmore and williams back to earth using a spacex crew dragon capsule. the return is scheduled after march 12, following the arrival of four new crew members at the iss. despite the extended stay, the astronauts have continued their maintenance and scientific research, contributing valuable data to ongoing space missions.
the situation has sparked political debate, with figures like former president trump supporting musk’s assertions. however, both astronauts have expressed respect for musk and trump while reiterating that their extended mission was due to technical challenges rather than political interference.
