Fact-check: Recent X posts reference a brief February 2026 spat where Musk threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft in response to Trump's contract cancellation statements, but describe it as a threat that both parties backed down from, with no evidence of actual decommissioning or ongoing fallout. SpaceX continues normal Dragon ISS operations per other posts. TASS is an unreliable source, and no direct confirmation from Musk or Trump accounts.
