Elon Musk appears to be in line for a $2 billion of Government Work for Trump’s (R) Golden Dome Defense Project. His SpaceX firm is set to Win the Massive Project to Develop and Build the Missile and Aircraft-Tracking Satellites. Trump nveiled His chosen Design on May 20th, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (R), in the Oval Office. It is now being Reported that this is precisely what is happening. According to The Wall Street Journal, Musk, the SpaceX Founder, CEO, and Chairman, is set to Anchor an “Air movingTtarget Indicator” Network that could eventually Reach approximately 600 Satellites.
The Money for the Project had been included in Trump’s July Tax-and-Spend package, but was Not Publicly tied to a Specific Contractor. The Pentagon has Not Formally Awarded Golden Dome Work, while it Finalizes Spending Lines. The Golden Dome Program, priced by Trump at $175 billion, aims to Detect, Track, and Intercept Inbound Missiles. Experts Warn the Project could Cost at least Half a Trillion dollars, and Run the Risk of starting an Arms Race in Space.
In August, it was Reported that the White House wanted the First High-Profile Golden Dome Tests, to be conducted in the weeks leading up to the November 2028 Election, part of Trump’s desire for a Visible “Win” on a Politically Explosive Schedule, a Timeline a Defense Official described as Technically very Risky.
SpaceX is also positioned for Two other Jobs. They are Milnet, a Secure Relay for Sensitive military Communications, and a Ground-Targeting Network to Track Vehicles. “What we’re relying on is industry to help us innovate by showing us the art of the possible—bringing ideas to us,” U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, has likewise told Investors the Company would Prioritize U.S. needs in Conflict. Officials have Warned against “Vendor Lock,” where Overreliance on a Single Firm can Hinder Innovation and Increase Costs. A Pentagon Defense Science Board Study last year, urged Broader Commercial participation, and Gardrails on Data and Access.
SpaceX’s Speed is its Advantage. The Company says it has Launched more than 10,000 Starlink Satellites, giving it Unmatched Manufacturing and Launch Cadence.
