SpaceX to benefit under Trump 2.0

Musk, the world’s richest individual, is expected to gain influence in Washington following Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, which could benefit SpaceX through favourable government policies. Musk’s long-term vision of human colonisation of Mars may align with Trump’s agenda, with increased focus on interplanetary missions.  

NASA’s Artemis programme, which uses SpaceX’s Starship rocket to prepare for future Mars missions, may see a shift towards prioritising uncrewed Mars missions within this decade under Trump’s administration.  

Additionally, SpaceX may advocate for less stringent regulations concerning worker and passenger safety in private space flights during Trump’s tenure. A Reuters investigation last year highlighted over 600 worker injuries at SpaceX facilities across the United States, raising concerns about the company’s adherence to safety protocols.  

Musk’s Mars aspirations and SpaceX’s role in the future of space exploration may become pivotal themes in the next phase of US space policy.
