The California Coastal Commission has issued a formal apology to @elonmusk and SpaceX, adding that it will not consider political views or speech in future regulatory decisions. • The Commission admits some officials made politically biased and improper statements about SpaceX and Elon Musk • It formally apologizes for those remarks • Agrees it will not consider political views or speech in future regulatory decisions • The Commission will NOT require coastal permits for most launch operations at Vandenberg Full statement: "The Commission agrees that it may not consider irrelevant factors in performing its function and specifically agrees that it will not take into account the perceived political beliefs, political speech, or labor practices of SpaceX or its officers in considering any regulatory action concerning SpaceX. The Commission acknowledges that Commissioners made statements, including during their October 10, 2024, hearing on the Base’s Falcon 9 launch program, that showed political bias against SpaceX and its CEO and were improper. The Commission apologizes for those statements, as set forth in the signed letter attached as Exhibit C." This filing means that SpaceX and the California Coastal Commission have reached a settlement in their federal lawsuit, and it provides long-term regulatory clarity for SpaceX for future Falcon 9 launches.

BREAKING: The latest Epstein emails show no evidence that Elon Musk ever visited the island. The limited early contact ended quickly, and later Epstein’s attempts to reach @elonmusk were reportedly blocked by SpaceX servers. Elon was focused on his companies & ignoring Epstein.

Falcon Heavy is lighting up tomorrow! April 27 at 10:21 a.m. EDT, carrying ViaSat-3 F3 into orbit. This beast of a rocket is back in action. One of the most powerful launches on the schedule. Keep your eyes on the sky. @SpaceX about to cook again @elonmusk

🇺🇸 SpaceX just flew an engine so advanced, only 2 other organizations in history ever built one. The Soviet Union tried, the US barely demoed it, but SpaceX actually flew it. Raptor 3 hits 350 bar chamber pressure, a world record, and shaved 10+ tons by eliminating heat shields, fire suppression systems, and basically anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. Pure confidence in engineering. "Raptor 3 is engineering art." Definitely. Source: AstroMind Hub YT, @elonmusk, @SpaceX

We often assume visionary companies start with a master plan for guaranteed success. The truth is usually the exact opposite ⏳ Here is @elonmusk on the surprisingly bleak expectations behind the founding of @SpaceX, and why an acceptance of failure was the only way to begin 🔥 "I had a lot of friends try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, because they thought it was crazy. Everyone thought it was a crazy idea. Some people had actually tried to start rocket companies before and failed. They tried to talk me out of it too. One good friend compiled a bunch of footage of rocket failures and forced me to watch it. I said, 'I have seen them all already.' I think these people misunderstood my premise. When I started SpaceX, it was not with the expectation of success. I thought the most likely outcome was failure. Their premise for talking me out of it was, 'You’re going to lose the money you invest.' I replied, 'Well, that was my expectation anyway, so I don’t really mind!' I mean, I mind losing money, but it’s not like I was trying to figure out the rank-ordered best way to invest my money and on that basis chose space. I didn’t think, 'I could do real estate, or invest in shoemaking, and—whoa! Space has the highest ROI!' That was not my premise. There have been many times where I expected to lose everything. Who starts a car company and a rocket company expecting them to succeed? Certainly not me. I thought they both had a low chance of success, less than 10 percent. Maybe 1 percent, I don’t know. Frankly, I wasn’t wrong. We must be optimistic. There’s no point in being pessimistic. It just doesn’t help. My theory is you’d rather be optimistic and wrong about the future than pessimistic and right. If you’re pessimistic, you’re going to be miserable. Might as well enjoy the journey."
