US President Donald Trump is considering turning over hundreds of acres of federal land to Elon Musk's SpaceX. The potential decision has since sparked concerns from environmental, wildlife, and historical conservationists.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering giving SpaceX over 775 acres of federally-protected land, according to a report by the New York Times. SpaceX would be using the land to expand its rocket launching and production site in Cameron County, Texas. The land in question is part of a national wildlife refuge that is a sanctuary for endangered species and includes parts of a historic Civil War battlefield.
