California Grounds SpaceX Over Musk's Tweets Despite NASA Reliance; Musk Upgrades Security

Oct 21, 2024, 02:06 AM

The California Coastal Commission has grounded SpaceX operations, citing Elon Musk's tweets as the reason. This move has been condemned by various commentators, including those from the All-In Podcast, who describe it as political lawfare. Critics argue that the Commission, originally intended to manage coastal areas, has expanded its authority excessively. The situation is further complicated by concerns that political actions against Musk could intensify if Kamala Harris wins the upcoming election. Additionally, Musk has been labeled 'Public Enemy No. 2' by a left-wing magazine, prompting him to upgrade his security measures. Miranda Devine notes that Musk has become a target of lawfare and deep state interference since buying Twitter. Despite NASA relying on Musk to rescue astronauts, California has blocked his rocket launches.
