June 5 this year. There was a scandal. Trump wrote on Truth Social that “” the easiest way to save money is to break contracts with Muska. ” His government took action, starting only a few days later a comprehensive control of all government agreements with the Muska, Spacex Space Company.
In April Spacex has won a Pentagon contract worth $ 5.9 billion. (PLN 21 billion 342 million) for 28 flights related to national security. In May, the company sent a new GPS satellite for American space forces into space.
At the end of July Spacex is to again send the crew to an international space station – Crew Dragon shipcurrently the only certified American spacecraft for manned flights to ISS.
The relationship between Trump and Musk is a real rollercoaster. The online quarrels of the American president with the richest man in the world for several days followed the whole world in disbelief. Emotions dropped, but only for a moment. Between the Republican and the multimiliarder again.
Although the businessman recently avoided the criticism of the president's actions, the “great beautiful law” he forced, she poured a spell of bitterness from him. He threatened to spend his fortune to create a new party and overthrow Republicans.
This is already happening. Musk announced the creation of the America party. In this way, he declared a political war to his former ally, the US president. – Musk aims to attract the so -called technological right to which he belongs. If he manages to reflect this group of voters from the Republicans, the conservative magician (Make America Great Again, make America great) will split – writes Dimitrije Milić political scientist.
In response to this, Trump brought the heaviest guns – he suggested that he could receive financing from Muska. And that he does not exclude his deportation.
However, business activities went without interference. President Spacex, Gwynne Shotwell, has met with government representatives several times in recent weeks.
Even SpaceX has problems with a new load -bearing system. However, Muska's Falcon rockets, which can be reused, remain the basis of many government missions.
Musk may have fallen out of Trump's disgrace, but the US government cannot do without SpaceX.
