SpaceX will be required to take more than 75 actions to mitigate environmental impacts before the company can receive a launch license

Among the requirements, SpaceX will coordinate with a “qualified biologist” on lighting inspections to minimize the impact on sea turtles,
operate an employee shuttle between the city of Brownsville and the facility,
and perform quarterly cleanups of the local Boca Chica Beach.

The company will also contribute to local education and preservation efforts — including preparing a historical context report of the events of the Mexican War and the Civil War that took place in the area
as well as replacing missing ornaments on a local historical marker.
The company will also make annual contributions of $5,000 each to organizations that protect ocelots and endangered birds of prey, as well as a state recreational fishing program.

What does cleaning the local beach have to do with starships?

Is this an example of government over-reach? Government opportunism? Soak the rich?
Or instead, a practical way to fund local priorities?

Elon may understandably perceive himself to be the victim of government over-regulatlion.
- Tesla, compliance with FTC, FMCSA, EPA, NHTSA, DOT, etc Musk perceives as an inconvenience?
- X (formerly Twitter)
- Space X, obstacles mentioned in the introductory post, "... 75 actions ...".

BUT

Let's not overlook the obvious. Even self-made $Billionaire E. Musk is, along with hundreds of millions of U.S. citizens, the beneficiary of the regulations Musk may wish to eliminate.

Where will the second Trump administration leave U.S.?
"Better off" as Governor Reagan phrased it?

Eager, committed Mennonite craftsmen can with energetic effort and coordinated teamwork build an entire barn in a single day.
A talentless drunkard can burn it down with a single carelessly tossed match or cigarette butt.

those regulations

took decades if not centuries to refine and implement. Not to annoy the industrious but to benefit society.

Extensive abolition of these national protections would be a gaudy confirmation Trump / Musk avarice shamelessly prevails over the public good.
