Elon Musk points to recent SpaceX launch to mock Russia's suggestion the US might have to fly into space on 'broomsticks' after rocket sales stop.

Russia announced it would stop selling rocket engines to the US after American sanctions.

Musk bit back at the Russian space chief's suggestion the US fly to space on "broomsticks."


Musk tweeted "American Broomstick," pointing to SpaceX's rocket launch hours after the comment.

Elon Musk took a jab at Russia's recent suggestion the US would have to get to space on broomsticks after the sale of Russian rocket engines was halted.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said on Thursday that Russia would no longer supply rocket engines to the US after President Joe Biden's sanctions over the war in Ukraine.

"In a situation like this, we can't supply the United States with our world's best rocket engines," Rogozin said on state-run TV. "Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don't know what."

Hours after Rogozin's comments, SpaceX launched 47 of its own Starlink satellites into orbit using the company's Falcon 9 rocket.

Musk responded to a video of SpaceX's launch on Twitter with a screenshot of Rogozin's comments highlighted along with the words "American Broomstick" and four US flags.

It's not the first time Musk has confronted Rogozin.

When Rogozin criticized Musk for offering Starlink internet in Ukraine, Musk tweeted: "Ukraine civilian Internet was experiencing strange outages – bad weather perhaps? – so SpaceX is helping fix it."

After Starlink went live in Ukraine over the weekend, one engineer told Insider that he was using the system for emergencies in case his regular internet connection was cut off.

Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, now has more than 2,000 satellites in orbit. Musk warned Starlink users in Ukraine to turn on the system "only when needed" because they could be targeted amid the invasion.

USA sanction Russian because of
Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russian vex that they won't sell their rocket engine to USA.
Meanwhile Elon musk SpaceX has already launched 46 satellites into space successful using reusable rocket engine SpaceX develop and manufacture by themselves called falcons 1-9
..
So when Russian brag they won't sell rocket engine to USA. Elon musk jab Russian back telling them SpaceX is the broomstick USA Will be using as SpaceX just launched their 47 satellites into space using same falcons 9.
Meanwhile falcons is develop and manufacture exclusively in USA to carry human and payload to space. It's like Russian rocket is landrover while the one Elon musk SpaceX develop is tipper truck.Elon musk tipper go carry things go and return back Earth come refuel carry thing go back space.
Recall SpaceX mission is man will living in Mars

Here is the summary:

Russia stops selling rocket engine to USA and tells them to fly to space using "brooms".

Tesla founder Elon Musk reminds them his company without any help has flown their USA-made rockets to space way more times than boastful Russia could dream of...and mocked Russia by calling his own rockets "broomsticks".

Prolly because you didn't know the foundation. Let me see if I can help.

* Russia, earlier in the week, banned the sale of Russian rocket engines to America and told the Americans to use broomsticks to fly to space instead.

* Elon Musk is now ridiculing the Russian representative by saying that US has better rocket tech. He also proved this by sending rockets to space with his own (US) technology.

" The news added that Musk has satellites in space, which he plans to use for data (internet) services at a commercial scale but has not fully launched. But he made the internet service available to Ukrainians during this war because internet service is not stable due to the war. He also advised the Ukrainians to be 'mising' the data like Naija teenagers so that Russian won't use the data to trace them.
