Elon Musk Set to Win Big with Trump’s Space Budget Boost

SpaceX appears poised for a major windfall under President Trump’s newly proposed budget for NASA and the Pentagon. The plan consolidates funding for NASA’s human lunar lander program—potentially sidelining competitors—and channels billions toward projects like Starship and Starlink. Critics call this a “giveaway” to Musk’s company, while the administration cites SpaceX’s reusability as a cost-saving measure. Boeing and Blue Origin stand to lose significant funding if the budget passes in its current form.
