Within the Trump administration\u2019s Defense Department, Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX rocketry is being trumpeted as the nifty new way the Pentagon could move military cargo rapidly around the globe.<\/p>\n

In the Commerce Department, SpaceX\u2019s Starlink satellite internet service will now be fully eligible for the federal government\u2019s $42 billion rural broadband push, after being largely shut out during the Biden era.<\/p>\n

At NASA, after repeated nudges by Mr. Musk, the agency is being squeezed to turn its focus to Mars, allowing SpaceX to pursue federal contracts to deliver the first humans to the distant planet.<\/p>\n

And at the Federal Aviation Administration and the White House itself<\/a>, Starlink satellite dishes have recently been installed, to expand federal government internet access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Musk, as the architect of a group he called the Department of Government Efficiency, has taken a chain saw to the apparatus of governing, spurring chaos and dread by pushing out some 100,000<\/a> federal workers and shutting down various agencies, though the government has not been consistent<\/a> in explaining the expanse of his power.<\/p>\n

But in selected spots across the government, SpaceX is positioning itself to see billions of dollars in new federal contracts or other support, a dozen current and former federal officials said in interviews with The New York Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SpaceX was awarded billions in government contracts last year<\/h2>\n

The company has already seen a massive jump in federal contracts, largely with the Pentagon and NASA.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n
