<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> is threatening legal action after California officials cited his politics in their decision to reject more SpaceX rocket launches.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the California Coastal Commission rejected the U.S. Space Force&#8217;s request for more frequent SpaceX rocket launches. The Space Force had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-launches-california-coastal-commission-2024-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> that SpaceX be allowed to do 50 launches a year of its Falcon 9 rocket at Vandenberg Space Force Base, up from 36 launches.</p>
<p>The commission denied the request in a six-to-four vote.</p>
<p>During a hearing on the issue, commissioners griped about Musk&#8217;s political views, as well as his campaign stop with former President Donald Trump earlier this month.</p>
<p>Caryl Hart, the commission chair, sparked accusations of illegal regulatory lawfare when she distinguished between SpaceX and other companies.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not the other companies. This is about SpaceX increasing their launches, not the other companies increasing their launches,&#8221; Hart said.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Coastal Commission has one job – take care of the California coast. </p>
<p>It is illegal for them to make decisions based on what they (mostly wrongly) think are my politics. </p>
<p>For example, I have done more to advance sustainable energy &amp; help the environment than maybe anyone… <a href="https://t.co/x5CF2WkVdA">https://t.co/x5CF2WkVdA</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1846281675430334854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re dealing with a company the head of which has aggressively injected himself into the presidential race and made it clear what his point of view is,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Hart also <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2024/10/11/california-commissioners-reject-expansion-of-spacex-launches-a-non-binding-rebuff-of-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> to forget that SpaceX Director of Government Affairs Matthew Dunn had participated in the hearing via Zoom earlier.</p>
<p>Commissioner Mike Wilson said at the hearing that politics and science &#8220;mix in these spaces.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729077615157000&amp;usg=AOvVaw17Kprl74oE9DYOLREdiBPU">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a></b></p>
<p>Wilson complained that Musk was &#8220;speaking about political retribution on a national stage, and it was very glib, but yet he was standing next to a person, a candidate that openly promotes and is working to normalize that language, and we have to push back against that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Commissioner Gretchen Newsom accused Musk of &#8220;hopping about the country spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk skewered the Commission in comments posted to X.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Coastal Commission has one job – take care of the California coast. It is illegal for them to make decisions based on what they (mostly wrongly) think are my politics,&#8221; Musk wrote.</p>
<p>The SpaceX founder added that he has done &#8220;more to advance sustainable energy &amp; help the environment than maybe anyone ever, which is not exactly a &#8216;far-right&#8217; position.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yet here they are shamelessly breaking the law! They should resign immediately and face the appropriate legal consequences for their actions,&#8221; Musk said.</p>
<p>Musk has been outspoken in his support of Trump this election cycle.</p>
<p>During his October 5 campaign stop with Trump in Pennsylvania, the tech mogul urged people to register to vote and cast their ballot for Trump in the crucial swing state.</p>
<p>Trump is locked in an extremely close race with Vice President Kamala Harris. Several polls this month have shown her tiny national lead starting to shrink.</p>
