California officials are abusing their power to punish Elon Musk

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Interestingly, last week something called the California Coastal Commission denied SpaceX's request to launch more rockets from Vandenberg Space Force Base, about 250 miles north of Los Angeles. The commission says it is concerned about the environmental impact and the sound of the booms reverberating hundreds of miles away. You wouldn't want to wake up those 180,000 homeless people in tents before noon, would you? But such launches have been taking place for the last 70 years. Not to mention the other sonic booms they allow, like letting Eric Swalwell eat a bean burrito from Taco Bell. But the committee's own words prove they are less concerned about SpaceX's environmental impact than Musk's social impact. This is Chairwoman Caryl Hart.

CARYL HART: Working with a company that doesn't do this – that is, whose CEO has aggressively entered the presidential race.

See, she should have said we were dealing with someone who got involved in the presidential race and wasn't helping the Democrats. But you see, that would be fair. A trait that most bureaucrats hate. After all, Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. The Soros Foundation funds the left and right of the district attorney. And Zuckerberg helped swing the election for Joe in 2020. See, they're not pissed that Musk is a political billionaire. They are furious that he is not their political billionaire. Listen to Commissioner Mike Wilson.

MIKE WILSON: This company is owned by the richest person in the world and has direct control over what is probably the most extensive global communications system in the world. And last week this person spoke about political revenge on the national stage and how… And it was very smooth, and yet he was standing next to a person, a candidate, who is openly promoting and, you know, working to normalize this language.

Good heavens. You poor thing. Look, if you're angry that someone is normalizing weird language, arrest Kamala. Every speech sounds like she's spitting out a word from an office calendar. Finally, look at this nonsense by Commissioner Gretchen Newsom.

GRETCHEN WILSON: Right now, Elon Musk is going around the country spouting and tweeting political lies and attacking FEMA, while claiming he wants to help hurricane victims get free StarLink internet access.

Jumping? What, he lost a leg? So this lovable moron is actually mocking Musk's disaster relief. What the hell did she do? Nothing. She is a bureaucrat. While she shuffles paperwork, Musk has given North Carolina better internet access than public libraries for horny homeless men like Jamie Lissow. Do any of these bureaucrats really look like they care about wildlife conservation? They wouldn't know the difference between a brown bear and Bret Baier. In fact, the only difference is that one of them is no longer in the forest.

They only really protect themselves. They are angry at Musk for not abandoning his intellect and wealth to their idiotic Kamala, and they are abusing their power to punish him. Now Musk is vowing to sue the commission for violating his First Amendment rights, arguing his words have nothing to do with Saturday's record-setting rocket launches.

That was the first. No one else in the history of the world has ever done this. Well, I once caught something shaped like a rocket. And boy, did the ER have a hard time removing it. It wasn't even July 4th. The fact is that Musk defeated NASA with significantly fewer employees and cash. He did this while trying to cure diseases, protect press freedom, and create an army of obedient robots. At least I hope they obey. When I say take out Doocy, I don't want an argument. Musk is changing the world and the bureaucrats think they can convince him to shut up. They can't. And it drives them crazy because he likes adventure, which is the complete opposite of a bureaucrat.

The bureaucrat exists solely to seek comfort and build a padded world around himself without accomplishing a damn thing. When a bureaucrat is born, its sole purpose is to feather its nest before it dies. But Musk is the enemy of convenience, which is strange for a billionaire. In fact, that makes being a billionaire the least interesting thing about him. You realize that being at peace with life makes you a danger to everyone else, because when you're not challenged, you use that time to violate others like a bureaucrat. Do officials ever learn from their mistakes? NO. They avoid failure by avoiding everything, everything that is valuable.

So when they see someone chasing a challenge, they feel resentful towards them. They gave up on their dreams, so they expect you to do the same. You see, for Musk it's more about failure than success. Failure becomes another challenge, which becomes another opportunity that leads to wisdom. Compare this with those who despise him. They say it's about political beliefs, but it goes much deeper than that. They have no self-confidence and hate those who do.

Now they could be inspired by him, but it is easier to simply envy him and become an obstacle to the achievements of others. But listen, you don't have to agree with his opinions. It's a free country.

You have the right to talk to him or anyone else. But when you try to suppress scientific progress because you hate a candidate, you are not the good guys. Maybe you're the one we should be launching into space. You know, California can look pretty good from there.
