SpaceX's future in jeopardy amid Elon Musk-Donald Trump feud explodes with threats of cutting contracts

By our Special Correspondent

The feud between billionaire Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump can lead to dramatic fallouts for about $22 billion worth of SpaceX's government contracts and multiple US space programmes. 

        The disagreement between them is rooted in Musk's criticism of Trump's tax-cut and spending legislation that began last week, quickly spiraled out of control. Trump lashed out at Musk when the president spoke in the Oval Office. In a series of X posts, Musk launched barbs at Trump, who threatened to terminate government contracts with Musk's companies.
