Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Muskās SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project.
The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control.
