"The effort to remake NASA is part of a larger transformation happening in the tech industry. After years, if not decades, of wanting the public to see Silicon Valley as hostile toward government, tech executives are quickly reversing course — not just to cozy up to the Trump administration, but to get access to a much greater flow of public funds for defense tech and AI military applications. Musk may be the most visible face of that effort, but he’s far from the only one.
Given how fast DOGE and the Trump administration have been tearing through the federal government, the changes at NASA could come fast too. SpaceX recently got even more money from the agency, while Boeing warned that 400 of the 800 workers it employs to work on the Artemis program could be laid off in the coming months. Musk does not want to see the United States turn its ambitions away from the stars; he just wants to see his own priorities adopted as those of the entire nation."
