The SpaceX/Anduril plan is $2.5T. This initial $25B is just to pay for weapon salesmen to sell the US/public on $2.5T. Like most modern US military spending, the goal is to spend rather than produce value.
With war on Canada, and rest of world, commercial truck and ship bombs are a good path to annonymous destruction of US, where political blame is independent of facts like 9/11. Submarines can attack with short range missiles. If you/enemy believes that golden dome is 99.9% effective, and you/enemy would like to collapse the US economically with a single nuke, as punishment for its hubris, then sending 1000 ICBMs will work. This means producing much more missiles and nuclear payloads, and the dome effectiveness will be overstated and undertested. Much more missiles are likely to get through.
