- The Trump administration is reportedly turning to old friends as it looks to develop a “golden dome” missile-defense system proposed by President Donald Trump. Although plans may change, and Elon Musk has denied that SpaceX pitched itself for the job, the administration is reportedly considering Anduril, Palantir, and Elon Musk’s space-technology company to build key parts of the system. Cofounders at all three companies have previously supported Trump, most notably Musk, who donated $288 million to Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign and is a close advisor to the president.
President Donald Trump wants to build a “golden dome” to protect the U.S. against missile attacks, and his administration is reportedly seeking out some familiar faces to help build it.
