[U.S. Media: Trump Administration Reviews Contracts with Musk's Company] According to U.S. media reports on the 20th, after the relationship between President Trump and billionaire Musk deteriorated, the Trump administration has begun reviewing contracts between Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) and several federal government agencies. The Wall Street Journal reported that the General Services Administration is requiring multiple government agencies, including the Department of Defense and NASA, to fill out forms to report their cooperation with SpaceX and to assess whether competitors in the industry can perform the same work more efficiently. Preliminary assessments indicate that, due to SpaceX's dominant position in rocket launches and low Earth orbit satellite services, most government contracts are difficult to cancel. Previously, Trump stated on social media that the easiest way to save federal spending is to "terminate" government contracts signed with Musk's company. Musk had fully supported Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, but recently, the two sides have had serious disagreements over issues such as the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill, engaging in a heated "war of words."
