难怪特朗普“示好”，白宫调查44天后发现，马斯克早给自己留了后路

Group 1 - The core conflict began with the 2025 "Big and Beautiful" Act, where Musk publicly opposed the policy, challenging Trump's economic agenda [2][3] - Musk's social media accusation linking Trump to the Epstein case escalated tensions, prompting Trump to threaten to terminate government contracts with SpaceX and Tesla [2][3] Group 2 - A 44-day White House investigation aimed to find loopholes in 127 government contracts with Musk's companies, but concluded that most contracts were nearly impossible to terminate [3][4] - 85% of SpaceX's contracts contain "non-terminable" clauses, with penalties for breach ranging from 30% to 50% of the total contract value, making it financially unfeasible for the government to terminate [4] Group 3 - SpaceX holds a dominant 78% market share in the commercial rocket launch sector, with Falcon 9's launch cost at $2,800 per kilogram, significantly lower than the industry average [5] - NASA relies on SpaceX for nearly 90% of its low Earth orbit satellite deployments, and SpaceX's Starlink provides 98% of real-time communication support for the U.S. military [5][6] Group 4 - Trump's efforts to find alternative suppliers like Sierra Space and Blue Origin have faced significant delays and budget overruns, making it difficult to reduce reliance on SpaceX [7][8] - Political backlash against Trump's sanctions plan includes opposition from 17 Republican lawmakers and declining support among independent voters, with 62% believing the government should not punish innovative companies [8][9] Group 5 - In the short term, Trump is forced to delay sanctions against Musk's companies due to contractual limitations and political pressure, while NASA seeks to diversify its suppliers [11] - Musk is proactively challenging the political landscape by establishing the "American Party" (AMEP), aiming to disrupt the traditional two-party system in the 2026 midterm elections [12] Group 6 - The ongoing conflict highlights a new paradigm where private companies leverage technological monopolies and contractual protections to create barriers against traditional political power [13] - The outcome of this struggle illustrates that in a technology-driven era, the innovative capabilities of business giants can serve as a hard constraint on political authority [14]
