Newsom sided with Musk after a California state agency voted on Tuesday to block efforts by Musk’s SpaceX rocket company from increasing launches from California’s Santa Barbara County-based Vandenberg Space Force Base to 50 per year.
“I’m with Elon,” Newsom said. Newsom argued that the California Coastal Commission should exercise impartiality.
