Elon Musk’s SpaceX faces $22 billion contract threat amid feud with Trump: What it means for US Space program

A public spat between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump has put over $22 billion in SpaceX government contracts at risk, threatening vital US space missions. Musk briefly threatened to retire the Dragon spacecraft, which transports astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). NASA relies heavily on SpaceX, making this conflict critical for space exploration. With alternative providers unprepared and US space budgets in flux, the fallout could disrupt launches, lunar missions, and national security projects.
