When he got to Don's current position, he usually had a lot of things to deal with.

The case of Michael Jackson is just a minor nuisance.

The next thing about Elon Musk is the big trouble!

Don met him in the living room of his office.

Elon Musk's sister, Tosca Musk, was also invited by Donn to come over for talks.

"SpaceX is going bankrupt?

In fact, Don also knows that even in the United States, private aerospace companies have encountered great resistance in the development process. Because there are too many confidential technologies involved in the aerospace industry, many of the advanced technologies that have changed the world pattern have been developed in the aerospace field, and some of them are selected for civilian use.

For example, GPS navigation, such as the precision manufacturing of top cars, and even the birth of the Internet, are inseparable from the "Star Wars" program of the year.

Elon Musk said indignantly: "We can't get the order!"

"Order?" Don was a little surprised and a little puzzled, "As far as I know, our company ...... You can't launch rockets yet, right?"

Donn invested in SpaceX a long time ago, owning a 30% stake.

He is the second largest shareholder after Elon Musk.

Elon Musk said: "Not really. The launch of rockets is a very high-end business, a very large industry, which needs to involve the industrial integration of hundreds of fields. With our strength, it is indeed impossible to undertake this kind of order at present. However, we are unable to undertake rocket launch business, but we can undertake some commercial service orders to provide some data support, safety testing and other peripheral launch services for rocket launches. ”

Don understood the meaning of this sentence very well.

It's like the special effects of a movie.

The highest-end special effects must be done by companies like Industrial Light & Magic. Those simple special effects can be safely and boldly outsourced to other cheap special effects companies.

What SpaceX wants to take on at the moment is the cheap outsourcing of the rocket launch industry.

"Questions?"

Seeing Donn's silence, Tosca Musk spoke.

She is Donne's assistant and is Donn's mouthpiece many times.

At work, her relationship with Don is far closer than that of this brother.

Elon Musk's face was tense, and he said coldly: "The military doesn't even give us the opportunity to bid!"

The space industry is too secret, and the final say is in the hands of the U.S. Air Force. NASA is a research and development agency, not a power-hungry agency.

Don said, "They have a regular partner?"

Elon Musk said: "That's right, Boeing and Loma have a joint venture with a space company, which is the designated partner of the Air Force and NASA. ”

Boeing and Loma are also private companies, and their joint venture space company is naturally also a private company.

The difference is that Boeing and Loma are both creators of the top aviation technology on the planet. In particular, Lockheed Martin, the top fighter jet in the United States, is mostly from this company, and scientists from this company have settled in the famous Area 51.

From this point of view, the U.S. military can share classified R&D information with Boeing and Loma.

In terms of credibility and confidentiality, it is much stronger than SpaceX, which has only been established for a few years.

Don understood and asked, "How big is our price advantage?"

"Double!" Elon Musk said very confidently, "The last five-year order they signed with the Air Force for launch services was $150 million. This time, the order will be priced at least $200 million......! It only takes $100 million!"

Tang En was shocked, "Such a big gap?"

Elon Musk gritted his teeth and said: "It will only be bigger! Those companies that master core technology and core secrets have always been ruthless in government and military procurement." They're squandering taxpayers' money!"

Don finally understood.

It is no wonder that since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the absence of external threats from the United States, the development of the space industry has progressed slowly.

When the Soviet Union threatened, the US federal and US military were more courageous and more skillful! The elites who led the United States dared to make many bold decisions in order to defeat their number one opponent.

At that time, Boeing and Loma had to firmly rely on the government and the military and work together.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, everything changed.

The current US aerospace industry is already a pool of stagnant water.

And Elon Musk is the real dragon that stirs the backwater.

Donn took out his phone and made a call to Jeff Bezos, the big boss of Amazon.

Jeff Bezos is also a space maniac, and he also founded a space company, Blue Origin.

Blue Origin was founded a few years before SpaceX, and of course it doesn't have the strength to launch rockets at this stage, but some peripheral services are certainly fine.

By phone, Don asked Jeff Bezos about the status of the order for RSS launch services related to the US Air Force's rockets.

The results obtained are exactly the same as Elon Musk's statement.

Blue Origin is also excluded.

In other words, before the order contract was signed, an agreement had already been reached within the US Air Force that they would continue to choose Boeing and Loma as partners!

From the perspective of national security, such insider trading is conducive to stability.

From the point of view of national interests...... This is the collusion between the government and the capitalists!

It is harming the interests of taxpayers!

The capitalists took control of the United States?

Non-existent!

Nor can it exist!

Donn got the exact reply and immediately became angry, just like Elon Musk.

"Elon, you've got a solution, haven't you?" Donn asked, turning to the phone, hanging up.

Elon Musk nodded, "I've thought about it." But it's too risky and needs your support. ”

"Risky?" Don glanced at him and laughed twice, "The last thing I'm afraid of is risk, you...... Forget it, I'll talk about my solution first, maybe we will think of going together. ”

"Really?"

Elon Musk smiled and was noncommittal.

Tang En narrowed his eyes and said boldly: "Sue the Pentagon and the Space Agency, the government and businessmen colluded! Let the military and NASA go to court to confront me!"

Tosca Musk's eyes straightened at once.

Stunned.

Sue the U.S. Air Force?

Really?

The U.S. military represents the most powerful power in the United States!

Boeing and Loma represent the most powerful veteran capitalists in the United States!

It's true that you don't have money, but how old are you?

The capital groups behind Boeing and Loma have existed for hundreds of years, and their influence can cover the entire United States!

One is the most powerful weapon, the other is the most powerful capital.

Who can break this situation of joining forces?

Do you dare to call out?

Unexpectedly, Elon Musk next to him slapped his thigh excitedly and said loudly: "Don, with your words, I am relieved! This is also my solution!"

Tosca Musk was dumbfounded.

Lunatic!

Two madmen!
