Government Corruption
Newsom sides with Elon Musk's SpaceX lawsuit in surprising break with California agency
[WashExaminer] Preserving his meager POTUS chances in 2028
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) expressed uncommon support for Elon Musk after the California Coastal Commission blocked the latter’s efforts to increase SpaceX launches at the state’s Vandenberg Space Force Base.

"I’m with Elon. I didn’t like that. Look, I’m not helping the legal case. You just can’t bring up that explicit level of politics," Newsom said during an interview Thursday evening, later adding he wished "his friends" on the state commission would exercise more impartiality by "calling balls and strikes."

Newsom’s statement came after Musk mounted a lawsuit against the state regulator, alleging "naked political discrimination" fueled the commission’s move to pour cold water on his SpaceX plans.

The California Coastal Commission voted on Tuesday to reject the Department of Defense and Musk’s proposal to increase the number of rockets launched off California’s coastline. The Space Force, which partners with SpaceX to transport some NASA astronauts, had previously recommended that Musk’s company be given permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from Santa Barbara County’s Vandenberg Air Force Base.
