"By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth.  And a landing on Mars will follow. And I expect to be around to see it," Obama said at the time, according to a news release. 

"But I want to repeat - I want to repeat this: Critical to deep space exploration will be the development of breakthrough propulsion systems and other advanced technologies.  So I'm challenging NASA to break through these barriers.  And we'll give you the resources to break through these barriers.  And I know you will, with ingenuity and intensity, because that's what you've always done," he added. 

"Obama sounds exactly like [DOGE]!!" Musk posted on March 13. 

"In the past, I voted Democrat because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican," Musk famously tweeted in May 2022. He donated to Obama multiple times during his 2008 and 2012 campaigns, according to Federal Election Commission records, further emphasizing the change over time of where he has placed his resources.

Former left-wing Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., said Musk is "incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi. And people don't trust him." This attack prompted Musk to say, "I've had enough. Lawsuit inbound."

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk were crushed in Wisconsin. Keep the pressure on," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies, D-N.Y., posted to X on Tuesday night. 

Obama's office declined to comment for this story.
