  1. What scares me is this going to the Supreme Court, which would absolutely have his back on taking regulations apart.

    Just imagine if Trump wins and this miscreant heads up the ‘Department of Efficiency”. I’m sure only wonderful things will happen.

    I mean after Loper Bright, this will be a strong challenge, unfortunately. Amazon Kuiper will be winners no matter the outcome. Crazy times

  4. Threaten to take his contracts away. Let the stocks tumble a few days. See if that changes his tune.

  5. Musk also filed a lawsuit against the NLRB claiming the agency is unconstitutional. Seems like the new playbook is to just file lawsuits against every single agency you don’t like and claim that their powers aren’t explicitly outlined.

  6. They fined him $140k for putting clean water on the launch pad without a permit in a place known for torrential downpour pours and hurricanes.

  7. The American military services should do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to divorce itself from the criminal musk in every way possible.

    This man should definitely be given the power to cut the funding of federal agencies in the name of government efficiency. He would in no way use it to protect his own business interests from prosecution.

  9. How is the US supposed to be competitive in space when there’s countless land mines, red tape and bureaucracy to cross through? We don’t bat an eye to the test ranges all sorts of missiles and bombs in Nevada but to suggest something similar for US space testing is blasphemous.

  10. This i feel is justified. The starship launches that was already approved was halted due to someone saying the freshwater they use for the deliuge system is bad for the enviroment…

    The case is practically pure bureaucracy nothing else will come of it other than everyone involved having to wait months for something that is already ready.

  11. Good, We’re crippling our selves while other countires surge ahead. But by all means lets keep hobbling the only company putting our people in space AND bringing them back.

  12. This evil dude is made of government contract money. High time to pull the government cheese train out from under him. His investors will do the rest.
