SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on X, "Time to begin preparations for deorbiting the International Space Station (ISS)...It served its purpose." When an X user asked if Musk suggested the ISS be deorbited before 2030, Musk responded, "My recommendation is as soon as possible...2 years from now." Musk recently feuded with ex-ISS Commander Andreas Mogensen over return of Sunita Williams.
