His actions recently have shown he very much cares about public opinion, it’s why he’s been flip flopping on tariffs so much.

Even Trump knows that relying on the Russians to get to the ISS would be a bad look for America.

I don’t think that’s true actually, it’s a huge prestige project for the US, and it would be very embarrassing to lose it.

Elon’s response of “good luck getting to the ISS” was a pretty solid comeback to this.
