Cremieux is referring to Elon Musk. Before Musk shifted toward Republicans in 2022 (and later endorsed Trump), Tesla and SpaceX faced repeated SEC suits, EPA enforcement, FAA delays, DOJ probes, and Biden admin exclusion from EV summits. Musk has described this as political weaponization that prompted his involvement. Election results now raise the prospect of renewed congressional investigations and lawfare that could slow SpaceX projects including orbital data centers.
