Mexico Uses Biden Regime Playbook In Attempt To Hinder Elon Musk's Rocket Launches

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, aligned with far-left politics, is challenging Elon Musk's SpaceX over environmental concerns. Sheinbaum claims that SpaceX's rocket launches from Starbase, Texas, are polluting Mexican territory with rocket debris. The president will meet with her cabinet to discuss the "security and environmental impacts" of the launches. Sheinbaum stated that the government is reviewing laws that may have been violated and will file lawsuits accordingly, citing contamination. A local environmental group in Tamaulipas discovered rocket debris, according to a report from Mexico's La Jornada. This move echoes tactics seen in the US, where federal agencies were used to delay commercial rocket launches with environmental concerns. The question arises whether foreign adversaries, lagging behind SpaceX in the space race, are influencing Sheinbaum to disrupt or delay Starbase launches. This would allow them time to catch up in the space race. Sheinbaum's actions may be seen as an attempt to derail SpaceX's progress. The situation highlights the potential for environmental concerns to be used as a political tool to hinder innovation and progress.
