July 23, 2025 — SpaceX, the aerospace giant founded by Elon Musk, has issued a warning to its investors about the potential impact of Musk’s political activities on the company’s operations.
According to documents reviewed by Bloomberg, SpaceX included a new “risk factor” in a recent tender offer, highlighting that Musk “may in the future serve in [political] roles and devote significant time and energy to such roles.”
This marks the first time such language has appeared in SpaceX’s tender offer documents, signaling concerns about Musk’s divided attention as he balances leadership of multiple companies with potential political engagements.
The warning comes amid Musk’s recent political maneuvers, including his July 2025 announcement on X of the formation of the America Party, aimed at influencing narrowly contested U.S. House and Senate races.
Musk’s prior role as a senior adviser to President Donald Trump in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) ended in late May 2025, following a public fallout with the president.
This high-profile rift, coupled with Musk’s history of political involvement, has raised questions about his future focus on SpaceX, which is currently valued at approximately $400 billion, making it the world’s most valuable private company.
SpaceX’s investor documents underscore the company’s reliance on Musk’s leadership, noting that his potential political commitments could divert time and energy from his role as CEO.
The company, a critical contractor for NASA and the U.S. military, oversees the Falcon rocket program, the development of the Starship vehicle for Mars missions, and the Starlink satellite network, which comprises roughly 8,000 satellites.
Any reduction in Musk’s involvement could pose operational risks, particularly as SpaceX navigates complex government contracts and ambitious projects like the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system, where its role remains significant despite tensions with the Trump administration.

Musk’s Controversy in Politics
Musk’s political activities have already stirred controversy.
His brief tenure at DOGE and subsequent exit followed criticism of a Trump-era spending bill that repealed green energy tax credits, impacting Musk’s other venture, Tesla.
Posts on X reflect mixed sentiment, with some users speculating that Musk’s political ambitions could affect SpaceX’s valuation, while others view his return to a rigorous work schedule—evidenced by his July 2025 X post about working seven days a week and sleeping in the office—as a commitment to his businesses.
Despite these concerns, SpaceX remains a dominant force in the aerospace industry, accounting for 83% of global satellite launches in 2024.
The company’s recent tender offer allows certain shareholders to sell stakes, providing liquidity for early investors and employees in a private company that has delayed going public.
However, the inclusion of Musk’s political activities as a risk factor serves as a reminder of the uncertainties surrounding his multifaceted career, which spans SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, and other ventures.
The broader implications of Musk’s political involvement extend beyond SpaceX.
The Trump administration’s reported efforts to reduce reliance on SpaceX for projects like the Golden Dome system highlight the challenges of disentangling government operations from Musk’s companies, given their unmatched capabilities.
Meanwhile, Musk’s xAI secured a $200 million Pentagon contract in July 2025 to develop AI for military applications, underscoring his influence across industries.
SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment from multiple outlets, including Reuters, leaving investors to weigh the risks of Musk’s potential political re-entry against SpaceX’s robust track record.
As Musk continues to shape industries and public discourse, his next steps—whether in politics or business—will likely remain a focal point for investors and observers alike.
