The US government's initial assessment of the contract with Musk's company is difficult to cancel

After the breakdown of the relationship between US President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, the Trump administration has begun to review the contracts between Musk's SpaceX and multiple federal government agencies.

The Wall Street Journal of the United States reported that the General Services Administration of the United States has asked multiple government agencies, including the Department of Defense and NASA, to fill out forms to report on their cooperation with SpaceX and to understand whether competitors in the same industry can complete the same work more efficiently. Preliminary assessment indicates that due to SpaceX's dominant position in rocket launches and low-orbit satellite services, most government contracts are difficult to cancel.

Previously, Trump said on social media platforms that the easiest way to save federal spending is to "terminate" the government contract signed with Musk's company.

Musk fully supported Trump in the 2024 US presidential election, but recently the two sides have had serious differences over issues such as the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill, engaging in a fierce "war of words".
