US EditionDemocratic lawmakers call for review of Musk's role in Golden Dome missile defense shield
- Forty-Two Democratic lawmakers called on May 1, 2025, for an investigation into Elon Musk's involvement in the Golden Dome missile defense shield procurement process.
- The request followed a Reuters report revealing Musk's SpaceX as a frontrunner for the Golden Dome project and concerns about his prior close ties to the Trump administration.
- The lawmakers highlighted worries about a SpaceX-proposed subscription service that could bypass standard Pentagon procurement rules and give Musk ongoing influence over the system.
- The Senate reconciliation budget allocates $27 billion for the Golden Dome, which intends to build satellites to detect and track missiles, while traditional defense contractors also compete for the project.
- If the inspector general finds Musk's role unfairly benefited SpaceX, the lawmakers requested a referral for criminal investigation, reflecting broad congressional concern over federal contract integrity.
