🇺🇸 TRUMP WANTED TO DUMP SPACEX BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAID NO

Trump tried to cut SpaceX contracts after Elon challenged his massive spending hikes in the One Big, Beautiful Bill.

His aides asked every agency from NASA to the Pentagon if they could ditch them.

Turns out the government is hooked: SpaceX runs too much of America’s space infrastructure, from rockets to satellite internet.

One official called the contracts “too critical to fail.”

Even the GSA led a full review and still couldn’t find a decent Plan B.

Turns out Trump’s bravado stops where Elon’s launch schedule starts.
