Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, claimed that the California Coastal Commission had denied his business exposure to the state because of his political views.
In Musk’s complaint, he is seeking an order that would replace the agency’s authority to regulate the playmaker Falcon 9 rocket launch system at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara, which was decided on during an Oct. 10 meet.
” You may say that it’s bringing in elections, but this is a political subject to some extent because it involves the U. S. state, it involves the Coastal Commission”, payment Chairwoman Caryl Hart said. The company’s CEO has actively injected himself into the political culture, the statement reads.
After supporting Progressives for years, Musk has since switched to former US president Donald Trump. He has endorsed him, contributed millions of dollars to his superPAC, and was present at one of his rallies.  ,
The lawsuit claimed that “rarely has a government agency made it so obvious that it was overreaching its legal authority to punish a business for the political views and claims of its largest shareholder and CEO.”

The California Coastal Commission, charged with regulating and ensuring the quality of the country’s beach, said SpaceX launches are no federal authorities activity and, therefore, may subscribe to the commission’s southern development permitting authority.
The Air Force wants to raise the frequency of SpaceX rocket launch from 36 to 50 annually in response.  ,
