SpaceX’s biggest business risk? Politics

# SpaceX's Space Dreams Could Be Blocked by Politics SpaceX wants to build AI data centers in orbit and eventually send people to Mars, but the company can't do any of it without government approval—and that's becoming a problem as CEO Elon Musk becomes more controversial in Washington. Democrats are increasingly unhappy with Musk over various business decisions, while there's also growing concern that one person shouldn't control so much of America's critical communication systems. In short, SpaceX's most ambitious plans might fail not because of technical problems, but because of political tension.
