US President Trump and his allies have boosted federal spending for SpaceX, positioning Elon Musk’s company to profit from billions of dollars in new government contracts. Proponents argue that SpaceX has the best technology, supporting a significant increase in funding.
According to Eric Lipton, a Times investigative reporter, this shift is largely due to government officials who work closely with Musk and share his vision for space exploration. The increased spending will likely benefit SpaceX as it continues its ambitious endeavors, marking a promising development for the company’s future success.
