Read previewElon Musk said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) should punish Boeing for its Starliner failures rather than impose "petty" fines on SpaceX. In a Thursday X post, Musk expressed his displeasure with the FAA's proposed $633,009 fine for SpaceX. "NASA deemed the Boeing capsule unsafe for astronaut return, turning, out of necessity, to SpaceX, yet instead of fining Boeing for putting astronauts at risk, the FAA is fining SpaceX for trivia!" In his rebuke of the FAA and Boeing, Musk also reposted SpaceX's Wednesday letter to top congressional leaders. Representatives of SpaceX, Boeing and the FAA didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside business hours.
