Turin, 18 April (LaPresse) – ‘SpaceX has not attempted to submit bids for any contract in this regard.’ Elon Musk wrote on X in response to press rumours that his company SpaceX, in collaboration with Palantir and Anduril, had been favoured to win a crucial part of Donald Trump's ‘Golden Dome’ missile defence shield. ‘Our strong preference would be to focus on getting humanity to Mars. If the president asks us to contribute in this regard, we will do so, but I hope other companies (not SpaceX) can do so,’ he added.
