SpaceX CEO Elon Musk accused the FAA of "regulator overreach" and said his aerospace company would sue the federal agency. The FAA had proposed $633,000 against SpaceX.

On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration levied proposed fines of hundreds of millions of dollars against SpaceX for violations related to rocket launches last year. Soon after, Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of the commercial rocket and satellite company, threatened legal action to fight the citations.

Elon Musk identified a new constraint for his Mars-bound ambitions. That means presidential administrations don’t automatically get to appoint a new FAA leader each time a new party is sworn in.

He highlighted how SpaceX is being fined despite stepping up to rescue NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore from the International Space Station (ISS) when Boeing failed to do so. The FAA has imposed a penalty of $6,33,009 or Rs 5.28 crore for the alleged safety violations.

After SpaceX was hit with a proposed fine by federal regulators, Elon Musk is complaining that they should be focused on Boeing (BA) and leave his company alone.
