Elon Musk is suing the FAA over fines he claims are "politically-motivated." The former head of the FAA disagrees.

The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a $633,009 fine against SpaceX for what it says were two separate launch violations in 2023.

New court filings revealed that X's headquarters are now in Bastrop, Texas, Forbes reports. Musk originally stated that the company would move from San Francisco to Austin. But now, Musk appears to have instead chosen to make X's home base only about 30 miles east of the tech-dominated city where Tesla's headquarters are located.

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.

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.
