SpaceX "Golden Dome" total orbital stack
Not filed to a thread
As the brief logged it
— SB-AMTI + SDN Backbone = $6.45B in new-build military contracts + Starshield (undisclosed) + Starmind orbital compute (FCC application accepted) + 10,397 operational Starlink sats. SpaceX is no longer a satcom competitor that cross-subsidises via AI; it is the US government's preferred orbital infrastructure vendor across commercial broadband, sovereign broadband, ISR tracking, data backhaul, and AI compute. Model SES pricing sensitivity against a competitor whose floor is set by DoD contracts, not commercial margins.
