Elon Musk's SpaceX has received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the bloated Pentagon budget is a thing of the past.

But there’s one obvious contractor that hasn’t faced a single cut so far: SpaceX.

SpaceX has received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits.

SpaceX's deals with the Pentagon have grown exponentially — totaling almost $8 billion — as it has provided an increasing number of services to the DoD.

Experts don’t believe that $800 million in DOGE -identified “cuts” of Pentagon grants and contracts announced by Hegseth will save taxpayers money.

Last month , The Intercept called out Hegseth for the hypocrisy of pledging to end Pentagon efforts that do not promote “lethality” while his DoD looks to pump money into some of its almost 150 golf courses.

Golf is only one of the Pentagon ’s many frivolous fixations, including the promotion of physical fitness and social interaction among troops.
