Musk Likes the Political Stage

SpaceX will be conducting its sixth test of its Starship rocket, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, which it soon hopes to use to deliver more of its Starlink communications satellites into orbit and to carry NASA astronauts to the moon. Eventually, Mr. Musk wants to use Starship to take humans to Mars.

The test launch is planned for 5 p.m. Eastern time. Mr. Trump’s plans could always change.

Mr. Musk has been a ubiquitous presence during the presidential transition, frequently attending meetings with Mr. Trump at Mar-a-Lago and sitting in on job interviews for his administration. He traveled with Mr. Trump to Washington, accompanying the president-elect at a meeting with House Republicans. He sat ringside with Mr. Trump at an Ultimate Fighting Championship in New York over the weekend.
