Reuters with the report on the Musk - Trump feud, and therefore if role of Musk's SpaceX in Golden Dome missile shield is in question. Reuters cite "three people familiar with the project".
In brief:
- until recently there was a plan for SpaceX, Musk's rocket and satellite venture, to partner with software maker Palantir and drone builder Anduril to construct elements of the "Golden Dome" missile shield project
- but a new framework for the system is now being considered that could reduce the role of SpaceX
- one possibility, the three people said, could initially forego SpaceX's satellite capabilities and focus on the expansion of existing ground systems for missile defense instead
It's the other way around now.
