It is still just as impractical now as it was then – but at least it had a better name.
The only ‚Golden Dome‘ Trump is capable of actually producing and building is a solid gold exhaust vent to fit over his sold gold toilet.

Whoa what happened to Musk stepping back from politics. Didn’t he say he’d “done enough” ??

Great idea – get the guy who could not even design a decent electric pick-up truck to design your $175 billion dollar vanity project.

He doesn’t make quality products.

Didn’t 🍊already get enough Golden Domes while visiting Russia?

Why would anybody be okay with the worlds richest man controlling both starlink around the world as well as a missile defense system that costs $175 billion?
Where’s the “don’t trust the government” crowd now? Bowing down at the feet of the wealthiest man and the authoritarian government he purchased?

Scam.

Let’s not take the bait. No one should build this useless thing. Don’t get sucked into an argument about who or who should not build it.
No one should!

So we’re cutting $700B from Medicaid, something that saves American lives every day, to build a missile defense system… because…???
A foreign missile has never struck US soil. Why do we need this again? Not saying we shouldn’t be proactive in defense strategy, but this seems like a fuckload to spend on something we have never before needed.

The Golden Dome project is being overseen by U.S. Space Force Vice Chief of Space Operations General Michael Guetlein, who [spent a year with spaceX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Guetlein), from 2010-11.
Self-dealing with a $175 billion slush fund, with no independent oversight, for a project that will never come to fruition. Yet another scam from musk and trump to embezzle taxpayer money.
musk is probably going to spend the money on his dream project of going to Mars, along with the money that he siphons from NASA.
Edit: Not to mention the idea of musk developing a satellite-based weapons platform. Skynet anyone?

Trump doesn’t know jack-shit about the details of this weapon. His willingness to commit our country to spend billions on this rubbish is entirely due to the fact that he loves to say the phrase „Golden Dome“, and he loves gold. That’s it – that’s as deep as it goes.

That’s a lot of healthcare

Yes let’s spend 175 billion on a Dome while he takes everything away.

Raytheon has more experience. Elon would kill civilians and promise a fix is two years out.

Someone had to stop this. They’re using MAGA to enrich themselves. This is what Limbaugh did. This is what Fox does. This is flat out disgusting.

Did *anyone* doubt that was exactly the plan with the Golden Dumb all along?
The fucker was standing behind Trump during the announcement practically rubbing his palms together like the dude in the yellow jacket from the meme!

Flood the GSA and FTC with complaints.
Make them do an assload of paperwork before it can be awarded.

There should be fury for anyone to build it. This is completly unrealistic and unneeded.
American Nazi Uber System
Figures Trump – the short-fingered vulgarian – would call it ‚The Golden Dome‘.
At least when Regan proposed the exact same thing he picked a better name for it – he called it [The Star Wars Initiative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative).
It is still just as impractical now as it was then – but at least it had a better name.

5, 10, 15 years from now, no „golden“ dome. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has moved on to [hypersonic missiles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_weapon#/media/File:Comparison_ENG.png), defeating the golden dome’s entire purpose.

Suddenly increasing the budget, taking on more debt and spending on non essential abstract things is now very fiscally conservative
I just love it’s a „Golden Dome“, not an „Iron Dome“ or „Titanium Dome“ even, but a Golden Dome.
To go with a pathetic self obsessed buffoon and his crappy self reflection.
My money is on Musk secures 80% of the money and dome ends up being made of paper mache.
