A President Trump would be raising hell right about now.

Elon doesn’t like being told no.

FAA is run by Democrats.

Could be a shakedown because Elon has money.

Democrats hate anything to do with success they didn’t create or can take credit for.

Maybe there’s legitimate concerns about safety.

All of that can be true..

FAA:
They’re not happy until you’re unhappy!

A red-pilled Elon Musk is a powerful foe. The commies are just reminding him who’s really in charge so he doesn’t get too uppity.

SpaceX being shut down so as not to compete with China Joe’s boss. SpaceX was a part of the hated DJT time, now is a new time and the old must be destroyed including SpaceX.

The future of Space exploration belongs to China, as it rightful assumes world domination, having successfully eliminated the US as an existential competitor - without firing a single shot.

The Dem corruptocrats in DC are holding out for under the table cash payments before approving Starship test flights.
I saw this coming when the ballot thieves took over in Washington.
In addition, the corrupt Biden DOJ just launched an investigation into SpaceX for “racial discrimination” in hiring practices.
Apparently, the DOJ want SpaceX to hire uneducated, ignorant, clueless black drug dealers from Detroit, Atlanta and Milwaukee to design the new Starship rockets.
You just can't make this sh*t up.
Chuckle!
Musk has to hang tough. If the worst comes to the worst, just move SpaceX over the border to Mexico.

Petty FAA bureaucrat to SpaceX: “You must ask, ‘Mother may I’ AFTER I say ‘Simon Sez’. THEN you can jump through my hoop.”

The FAA initially issued a clearance for a flight up to 7,200 ft. Seriously?

That could be why he’s buying offshore oil rigs for use as launch and landing platforms, to get out of the three mile limit.

Spot on. Musk lately has been violating the narrative and is being perceived by the Left as a potential problem. He is being sternly warned.

"What are your thoughts on SpaceX’s SN9 test

Probably Xiden and his Xiden junior want a "contribution."
SpaceX must pay their fair share to the Democrat mafia elites.

We can thank Ol Bill Clinton for passing off our space and nuclear secrets to “level the playing field” Now that is what you call a despicable Dem kill shot. GOD help us.

The FAA under Stealer Joe is a much different creature than it was under President Trump.

The fact is that the climate change laws and regulations for the Green New Deal are now being drafted , and the result will be that the SN9's carbon foot print will be illegal.

You want to get to Mars?

Use a star sail and a launching sling shot.

Its over , stolen elections have consequences there Chief Justice Roberts.If you had done your duty and heard the case evidence filed, we wouldn't be suffering this abject tom foolery.

FEEL THE GREEN BABY!

Liberal fascism, destroying America's future one sector at a time.

AOC wants a green space vehicle like the new SN10-X ( sarc.)

Yeah, Elon was probably late with the the "Big guy's" 10%...

Just follow the money to learn Democrat assurances of being for the "little guy" are nothing more than bald-faced lies.

I'm glad to see their Wall street financiers are being taken to the cleaners. Elon's tweets on the matter may be behind the reason the FAA was told to halt SpaceX flights?

You could be right.
