Elon Musk's SpaceX May Be Building Spy Satellites for U.S. Government
SpaceX is building a network of hundreds of spy satellites under a classified contract with a U.S. intelligence agency, five sources familiar with the program said, demonstrating deepening ties between billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's space company and national security agencies.
The network is being built by SpaceX's Starshield business unit under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), an intelligence agency that manages spy satellites, the sources said.
The plans show the extent of SpaceX's involvement in U.S. intelligence and military projects and illustrate a deeper Pentagon investment into vast, low-Earth orbiting satellite systems aimed at supporting ground forces.
It is perhaps belaboring the obvious that "...anywhere on the globe" includes American territory. Some might dismiss this as conspiracy theory territory, but it is in the nature of overbearing government to employ precisely these kinds of surveillance tactics. There are already surveillance efforts in place that have the capacity and legal authority to tap into electronic communications sent from or to the United States, after all.

Kamala Harris' Stepdaughter Raises Money for UN Agency Whose Staff Aided Hamas on October 7
Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been raising funds for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The news comes after it was revealed that the agency was employing Hamas operatives who helped the terrorist group carry out its surprise attack against Israel on October 7.
The revelation has caused a stir as many nations stopped funding the agency after its role in the October 7 slaughter was exposed. Emhoff leveraged her platform in Instagram to solicit donations for the UNRWA, which has brought the agency’s malfeasance back into the spotlight. Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter has called for donations to a UN agency whose workers were accused by Israel of participating in the Oct 7 terror attacks.
Intelligence estimates shared with the U.S. conclude that around 1,200 of Unrwa’s roughly 12,000 employees in Gaza have links to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist militant groups. Both groups have been designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. and others. Hamas has run Gaza since a 2007 coup.
In January, the UNRWA’s alliance with Hamas was revealed to the world. Reports outlined the extent to which the agency was linked with the terrorist group. It could be ignorance.
After all, being a progressive means never having to pay close attention to what one is doing when they seek to virtue signal. It is entirely plausible that she had no idea that the UNRWA employs terrorists – especially if she does not consume the news.
