for using an unapproved control room and a “rocket propellant farm” that hadn’t been given the green light.

In his other dealings with the FAA, Musk has sometimes come up on top, including when he pitted the FAA against the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the latter of which was concerned about environmental damage around SpaceX’s launch site in Texas from rockets setting ***** to the landscape during test flights.

Musk does have a history of suing people as a bullying tactic to get his way, such as his lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board stemming over SpaceX ******* employees who were critical of Musk.

And that’s why it’s funny, in an ironic way, that Musk would protest Bezos’ Blue Origin for suing the government space industry — before doing exactly the same thing himself.
