Elon Musk claims politics behind blocked rocket launches.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is suing California regulators over a blocked request for more rocket launches.
The lawsuit, filed this week, accuses officials of punishing the company for Musk’s political views.
The dispute stems from the California Coastal Commission’s rejection of 50 launches per year at Vandenberg Base.
SpaceX argues the decision oversteps regulatory authority, pointing to comments by Commissioner Gretchen Newsom.
Newsom accused Musk of spreading misinformation and questioned SpaceX’s workplace safety record.
This legal clash continues Musk’s feud with California, as tensions remain high.
SpaceX believes the launch restrictions are politically motivated, aiming to stifle its operations.
