SpaceX's Government Contracts at Risk Amid Musk-Trump Feud

Edited by: Olga Sukhina

Washington, D.C. - Approximately $22 billion in SpaceX's government contracts are at risk following a public dispute between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump.

The disagreement, which began with Musk's criticism of Trump's policies, led to threats of contract termination from Trump.

Musk initially threatened to decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft used by NASA, but later reversed course.

SpaceX has secured $15 billion in contracts from NASA and billions more from the Pentagon.

The feud could impact U.S. space programs and SpaceX's future, with analysts suggesting potential revenue loss.
