And they were challenging the continuation of the launch, but the launch went ahead anyway. And so after it was over, the FAA said that was a safety violation and we're going to fine you hundreds of thousands of dollars. And Elon Musk was very angry at that. He was like, what do you think you're doing? You're interfering in our operations. There was no safety threat.

And the FAA is getting in our way. And he called for the firing of the FAA administrator, and he said, I'm going to sue the FAA. And then he went so far as to say, you know, they're preventing our efforts to get humans to Mars and, you know, our grand ambitions.

Yeah, it's trivial. I think the biggest thing that really frustrates him about the FAA is the amount of time it takes to get clearances to do new launches, particularly for the Starship, which is his newest rocket, the largest rocket that humans have ever built. And he is extremely frustrated at how long it takes to get clearance to do additional test flights of the Starship.

And I mean, I think that that fine is really trivial and that that's just a kind of a small, you know, piddling thing that is a symptom of his bigger annoyance with the agency and also with the Department of Interior, which is looking at the environmental harm that the launches are causing in South Texas and the destruction of the habitat of threatened bird species, for example, which I've witnessed myself personally.

I was out there for a launch and then walked the grounds with a wildlife biologist from the Fish and Wildlife, and we saw the destroyed nest eggs from the blast of the Starship, which basically threw gravel across a state park towards Federal Wildlife Refuge. So that damage is occurring, and the fact that people are even looking at that and questioning it really frustrates Elon Musk.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether or not Musk failed to honor a requirement to disclose at the moment that he obtained 5% of Twitter, he needed to make a public filing. And the reason you do that is that you need to share with other investors if you are a significant owner of any particular corporation. And that's relevant material information about the company.
