The fallout from Elon Musk's deteriorating relationship with Donald Trump has led to uncertainties about SpaceX's involvement in a $175 billion missile defense initiative known as the 'Golden Dome'. The White House is considering abandoning SpaceX in favor of existing ground defense systems, as tensions escalate between the two figures. Trump issued stark warnings about government subsidies for Musk, while Musk later expressed regret for his previous comments about Trump. This situation could significantly impact SpaceX's financial future and its government contracts.
Losing the Golden Dome contract, a defense system valued by experts as a whopping $175 billion total, could be a major setback for Musk's space firm.
Because of the blowup, the Pentagon has been given the space to look at other alternatives, shifting focus from satellite systems to ground-based solutions.
