Statistics show that the United States is also in several offices for Space X’s Star Link for Internet Service for about $ 14 billion, such as the Department of Interior in Nevada.
Statistics may include old or mistakes, but many of the listed figures stand in line with a press release from agencies like the US Space Force. Some funding is subject to the approval of the Congress, and one part can eliminate the rivals of SpaceX.
But SpaceX rivals have faced numerous technical failures, and Musk’s company is the dominant leader of the market. The billionaire said this week that SpaceX will earn about $ 15.5 billion this year, which is almost double double -double -two -year -old. According to the tracking by astronomer Jonathan McDele, a astronomer of the Harvard Smithsin Center for Physical Physics, Space X has calculated 134 out of 166 launches in the United States so far this year.
The wired did not review the detailed agreements, nor did they seek the deals that the government had discussed with the middle -aged companies. For example, some government agencies are buying ads on Musk’s X -social media platform by advertising agencies.
According to online documents, the government’s vehicle fleet includes Tesla Electric Vehicles, and the General Services Administration recently paid the company for rehabilitation.
But the GSA’s annual Federal Flat Report does not break the number of vehicles by the manufacturer or offers details of future expenses. The report contains a list of 7,706 battery electric vehicles in the official fleet. Earlier this year, the Trump administration withheld orders for new zero emission vehicles, which was blowing companies like Tesla.

Musk’s companies have benefited from government support for years. In February, a Washington Post analysis said that since 2003, in the credit for government contracts, loans, subsidies and taxes, at the state and locally, has received at least $ 38 billion in Musk’s business since 2003. The October New York Times analysis has identified at least $ 15.4 billion in federal government contracts for Tesla and SpaceX over the past decade.
But the Musk himself has tried to chain federal spending through his work, leading the Trump administration’s government’s performance, claiming that $ 180 billion has been saved since January, including canceling the contracts, though the number is very controversial.
Federal courts temporarily blocked some of the Dodge’s efforts and protested against federal labor unions, government workers, Congress, states, and even Trump’s own assistants and cabinet secretaries. Last month, Musk said he was turning away from work to pay attention to his companies.
However, Trump’s cost -cutting measures have not stopped. According to representatives of two companies with major government contracts, many federal agencies are implementing the importance of increasing every dollar, and the importance of pulling each dollar is more emphasis. He refused to be nominated for fear of retaliation by Trump.
