California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday night sided with Elon Musk, after a California agency rejected a Defense Department request to increase the amount of SpaceX launches at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Musk sued the California Coastal Commission (CCC) on Tuesday after it cited his political activities as a reason to reject the request. Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, and has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump since the assassination attempt against him this July.
Newsom admitted that he largely agreed with the lawsuit, which alleges that the commission “engaged in naked political discrimination” by bringing politics into the decision, and said the rejection should have been confined to the merits of the request instead of politics.
“I’m with Elon. … I didn’t like that,” Newsom told Politico in North Carolina on Thursday. “Look I’m not helping the legal case, [but] you can’t bring up that explicit level of politics … These are friends of mine that said that.”
“These are good commissioners. But you got to call balls and strikes. And trust me, I’m not big on the Elon Musk bandwagon right now. So that’s me calling balls and strikes,” he explained. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
