At least for ISS, the choice is either Musk or Putin.

I don’t know which one is worse, especially considering Musk is aiding Putin via Starlink in Ukraine.

Ukraine claims Russian forces using Musk’s Starlink in occupied areas

But as someone who works in the industry, it is a bleak outlook. NASA absolutely needs more funding for its human spaceflight exploration, Earth Science, robotic exploration, and astronomy/astrophysics.
