Elon Musk will destroy the International special station.
NASA has already scheduled the destruction of the international space station and has even chosen its executioner, SpaceX, Elon Musk's private aerospace company, will be in charge of destroying the largest and most ambitious scientific project in history, the date 2030.

NASA announced on June 26 that it has already chosen the company that will be in charge of building a vehicle to remove the international space station from its orbit to drag it to an altitude where it will disintegrate and its remains will fall in a designated place far from populated areas. and this hit me like a bucket of cold water, because at the beginning of the year there was still talk of alternatives to extend the life of the international space station, which has been inhabited and operating for more than 23 years without interruption.
NASA will pay SpaceX to build the vehicle that will be destroyed along with the international space station a total of $843 million, which may sound like a lot of money, but if we consider that each year NASA spends $3 billion plus triple just in operating and maintaining the station it makes sense that they want to destroy it because it is cheaper. especially because after 2028 when the other space agencies will no longer contribute money, the total operating expenses will be entirely for NASA.
I really would like them to seek sponsorship, it doesn't matter that they fill it with advertising like a racing car, in conclusion, I agree that it makes sense to destroy it, but at the same time it makes me sad because I am used to thinking that there is a big mess in space with people inside doing science things and sending images to earth.
