Elon Musk and his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, etc.) have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, and tax credits, with nearly two-thirds promised in the last five years. SpaceX and Tesla account for over $15.4 billion in federal contracts over the past decade, spanning agencies like NASA and the DOD. While leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut costs, Musk has faced scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest due to his extensive business entanglements with the government.Ā
