Donald Trump Jr.'s Son Criticizes Bloomberg's SpaceX Coverage, Says It Underestimates the World's Leading Commercial Space Power

Odaily News, Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, criticized Bloomberg's coverage of SpaceX, calling it a case of "overpromising and underdelivering" and accusing the report of poor quality.

Eric Trump stated that SpaceX accounted for approximately 80% to 85% of the total payload mass launched into orbit globally in 2025, while China accounted for roughly 8% to 10% during the same period. He noted that the launch capability of a single private space company has surpassed that of all other countries combined, even leading the two major space powers.

He also pointed out that SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket completed approximately 165 successful launches in 2025, maintaining a perfect zero-failure record, with reusable boosters achieving over 30 flights each.

Eric Trump believes that SpaceX has made significant breakthroughs in reducing launch costs, improving rocket reusability efficiency, and advancing the commercial space industry, while criticizing some media reports for failing to accurately reflect the company's technological achievements.

The remarks stem from his dissatisfaction with Bloomberg's coverage of SpaceX, though the company's actual market share, global launch percentage, and future growth prospects continue to draw ongoing attention from industry institutions and analysts.
