Company sues after coastal commission cited CEO’s spread of misinformation on X in rejecting company’s proposal
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has sued a California commission in federal court, accusing it of political bias in its decision to block the space venture company from increasing the number of rockets it launches from a US airbase in the state. The commission cited Musk’s penchant for spreading misinformation on his social network Twitter/X in a meeting where commissioners rejected the company’s proposal.
SpaceX sued the California coastal commission on Tuesday in Los Angeles, seeking an order that would bar the agency from regulating the company’s workhorse Falcon 9 rocket launch program at Vandenberg space force base in Santa Barbara.
