Trump and Musk attend SpaceX Starship launch as partnership strengthens

economictimes.indiatimes.com — November 20, 2024 at 08:01 AM UTC

Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump attended a Starship rocket test launch at SpaceX's Texas facility. The launch faced issues, with the booster landing in the Gulf of Mexico instead of returning to the pad, unlike a previous successful test. Musk's influence has grown, as he advises Trump on key appointments and co-leads an advisory panel to reduce federal bureaucracy. Musk has also been a major financial supporter of Trump, contributing around $200 million to his campaign. Their relationship has shifted significantly; Musk, once critical of Trump, is now a key ally. Trump frequently praises Musk's achievements, highlighting their partnership's potential impact on U.S. politics and space exploration.
