SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hinted on Tuesday, that the Trump (R) Administration could possibly be Breaking-the-Law, after Reports emerged that the Government was looking at Rival Amazon for the coveted Golden Dome Missile Defense system.
“Federal acquisition regulations require using the best provider at the best price,” Musk wrote on X, after a Report said that the U.S. Government was looking to Court Amazon’s Project Kuiper, as well as other Strategic Partners, to Challenge SpaceX’s Dominance in acquiring Federal Contracts. “Anything else would be breaking the law,” Musk said.
The Reuters Report noted that while SpaceX remains a Frontrunner, thanks to its Dominant Launch capabilities, its share of the Program could Shrink. Newer Rocket Firms, such as Stoke Space and Rocket Lab (RKLB), are gaining ground and may be Allowed to Ccompete for Individual Launches as the Golden Dome Project evolves.
Musk also emphasized SpaceX’s Dominance in the Space Sector, responding to a User who noted that the Company is on Track to launch over 90% of Earth’s total Payload Mass to Orbit this year. “This is despite SpaceX competitors increasing their launch rates,” Musk wrote. “SpaceX is an anomaly in the matrix. Nothing can compare to a system designed to make life/consciousness multiplanetary.”
SpaceX’s Starlink and Starshield Satellite Networks have become an Integral part of U.S. Military Operations. According to a Report by The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Officials were Alarmed to find in a Review that SpaceX was the Only Reliable Partner for several Critical Defense Operations.
The Probable Strategic Pivot, comes at a time when the Relationship between Musk and Trump has Soured, following a Dispute regarding Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ which became Law earlier this month.
