      Seems redundant, who’s firing missiles at the US? Canada, Mexico? Anything from further afield is surely deterred by the nuclear triad?

      Wonder what quality of life improvements that money could’ve been spent on for the average American instead.

    2. A company that has zero experience building weapons, or weapons to counter other weapons, is a great choice to build those exact things.

    3. # Musk’s SpaceX is only runner to build Trump’s Golden Dome missile shield

      Good, that way when the nukes are flying I have complete confidence that shit won’t work and I’ll finally get off this stupid rock. 

    5. Of course it is. This administration is just shoveling Musk money, while claiming any spending on citizens is „waste and fraud“

    6. Of course it is.

      Now, who’s the front runner to re-do the job once SpaceX half arse it and split with the cash?

    7. Star ship keeps blowing up > which creates shrapnel > which could take down incoming missiles

      Looks like we are done here folks, where’s my billion dollars?

    8. “One of the sources familiar with the talks described them as “a departure from the usual acquisition process. There’s an attitude that the national security and defense community has to be sensitive and deferential to Elon Musk because of his role in the government.”

      And there you have it folks….

    9. **James Bond: The Man with the Golden Dome (2027 film)**

      **Synopsis:** After a corrupt government allows the world’s richest man to put missiles in space, James Bond as 007 (Idris Elba) must stop the plot before world security comes crashing down.

      But we can’t afford Social Security, Universal Healthcare, School lunches, Medicaid, etc….

      Oh how surprising, I’m super duper surprised Musk got another government contract!

    12. I work for one of the tier1 radar and missile producing companies. There is no way to just jump into “air defense” from what SpaceX does. Nor do we need any more help from Musk.

      I remember learning about Teapot Dome in school. Seems so quaint now.

      So, the dude that approved the Tesla truck is gonna be in charged of making a missile??? I’m sure that’ll work out.

    15. dylanholmes222 on

      Is this like the gold armor in Minecraft? Pretty sure we should be making a netherite dome

    16. All the otherwise potentially capable companies‘ senior executives are all wondering why their own kowtowing to Trump and the Republican Grift Commanders isn’t working as well as they thought it would.

    17. I thought USA are now friends with Russia, so why build even more advanced space weapon systems? Against who? Against Ukraine with its manpads?

      ABMs being a scam invented by war contractors to siphon off taxpayer money, example #157

    19. maximusprime2328 on

      Fuck peace, right? Let’s funnel billions of tax dollars to a billionaire’s company. I mean, come on, he’s famous for completing projects in an efficient and timely manner.

      /s

    20. Why on earth would spacex get this contract? How does this make any sense at all? They have as much experience building a weapons system as does Starbucks.

    21. Seniorwelsh on

      Does the article talk about it potentially being subscription based? So you wouldn’t even own it or have control of the prices??

    22. incunabula001 on

      If it’s anything similar to Trump’s “Great Wall”, it’s gonna be half assed as shit. At least put a qualified defense contractor on it.

    23. It’s important to remember that this isn’t meant to actually function or produce anything. It is meant to move your tax dollars from the federal government to the richest person in the world, and further enrich him. It is funded through tariff hikes, middle class tax hikes, social security cuts, and drastically increased debt.
