Adult: Gee, upchuck, what have you always wanted to be when you're grown up?
upchuck: I've always wanted to be a Federal regulator. Nice office, big desk, brown leather swivel chair. Sounds like heaven to me.
“Hmmm... sounds like the “Federal regulators” are deliberately slow-walking this one. But why?”
Numerous reasons. Musk is NOT woke. Musk’s businesses are NOT union shops. Musk has openly criticized this administration and its woke policies.
Musk pulled Tesla’s HQ out of California and openly criticized the state’s anti-business environment.
SpaceX is humiliating well-established, well-connected UNION companies, Boeing and L-M who were awarded development money for their failing space program which dwarfed the development money given to SpaceX, etc...
upchuck: “I’ve always wanted to be a Federal regulator. AND I succeed with a one-word vocabulary: ‘NO!!’”
