SpaceX just quietly became a Pentagon contractor with rockets attached.

$8.1B in defense deals this year:

$4.16B to track missiles from orbit,

$2.29B to wire sensors straight to interceptors,

$1.6B just to keep launching the hardware.

Golden Dome basically runs on Falcon 9 now.

$8B is basically a drop in the bucket in the over $1T US defense budget, which is historically around 13% of all spending. However, who says it can't get bigger?
