Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX will sue the Federal Aviation Administration for "regulatory overreach" after the agency imposed fines of over $600,000 for violations during two 2023 launches. According to the FAA, SpaceX failed to comply with licensing and safety regulations, using unapproved facilities and altering communication plans during a launch in Florida. Musk criticized the penalties as "lawfare" and alleged political motivations behind the FAA's actions.
