The White House Begins Review of SpaceX's Billions in Federal Contracts

On June 13 local time, a reporter from the main station learned from informed sources that earlier this month, the White House instructed the Department of Defense and NASA to gather detailed information on SpaceX's billion-dollar contracts. This move came after a public conflict between President Trump and Musk.

Informed sources indicated that as a preparation for possible retaliatory actions against Musk and his company, the government has ordered relevant agencies to carefully review their contracts, leading to an ongoing examination.

It is still unclear whether the White House plans to cancel SpaceX's existing federal contracts, which total approximately $22 billion. However, this review indicates that the Trump administration is following through on threats made during last week's dispute with Musk, potentially terminating business dealings and subsidy support with Musk's enterprises.

A White House spokesperson did not directly respond to questions regarding Musk's enterprises in an email sent to Reuters, only stating: "The Trump administration is committed to a rigorous review of all bids and contracts."
