I do not follow. What is it that democrats do not like about Elon? $11 Billion in federal taxes in 2021 is a lot of money. Not counting taxes paid by Tesla investors. And factory employees in California and Texas. Elon is making the green new deal a reality with his electric cars and now battery storage of power grid electricity. On SpaceX, just tune into the YouTube SpaceX channels. A lot of viewers. A lot of whom are not republicans.

Can't we just find out later if the Piping Plover is overly disturbed by weekly sonic booms? The overall environmental impact cannot be anything close to that of the border wall. Which would not have to be built if democrats would push for a reasonable way for Hispanics to work in the US as long as they periodically return to the home country.

You realize, as it was said, that even a minor project at an airport usually has a much longer approval process, right? And whatever Musk is doing for the green new deal (which is doubtful, by the way), what does that have to do for his rocket base?
