SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell[, was asked whether SpaceX would launch offensive weapons into orbit, to which she answered, “If it’s for the defense of this country, yes, I think we would”.](https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2018/09/spacex-well-consider-launching-space-weapons-if-asked/151328/)
Trump says during his 2024 reelection speech about going to Mars: "the United States must also build a state of the art next-generation missile defense shield to protect from the unthinkable threat of nuclear weapons"
SpaceX hires a 4-star general [O'Shaughnessy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_J._O%27Shaughnessy) to lead Starshield division named Strategic Homeland Integrated Ecosystem for Layered Defense.
SpaceX employees working on hypersonic missile warheads that can deploy from Starlink satellites, reenter the atmosphere and strike enemy rockets, or target anywhere around the globe within minutes (Prompt Global Strike).
In 2024, the Heritage Foundation issued [video clips](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79e8Y2Mgq-0&ab_channel=TheHeritageFoundation) and [new publications](https://www.heritage.org/defense/report/time-new-missile-defense-review-and-space-based-missile-defense-overlayer#:~:text=1.%20A%20Space%2Dbased%20Overlayer) calling for a spaced-based interceptor “overlayer” as part of an “impenetrable missile defense shield”.
