Tesla has scheduled the relaunch of its Roadster electric vehicle for October 15 in Waco, Texas, at a SpaceX facility. The event was originally set for October 1 but was delayed due to weather. Speculation suggests the vehicle may feature thrusters developed with SpaceX.
The new Tesla Roadster is priced at $200 000. Reserving a spot requires a $5 000 deposit, followed by an additional payment of $45 000 within 10 days.
SpaceX has reportedly limited Starlink services in Ukraine. Poland, which contributes $50 million annually for Starlink in Ukraine, has expressed concerns regarding the reliability of the service for military defense.
Elon Musk has donated $366 million to federal committees during the 2025-26 election cycle. His America PAC has faced scrutiny over voter outreach tactics and the operation of the VoteSafe.Org website.
A report by Bloomberg Government indicates that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), previously led by Musk, failed to reduce federal spending. Federal procurement spending is projected to exceed $1 trillion in fiscal 2026.
