Did Fed’s War On Elon Set Stage For DISMANTLING The Regulatory State — Vivek Says ‘Yes’

When they were in love with his electric Teslas, he was their darling… but now that he’s an obstacle to the censorship regime, he must be opposed and (if possible) destroyed.

And that means anything he touches… including every company with his name on it.

Anyone paying attention will notice that pretty nearly every Federal agency with the smallest excuse to wrap Elon in red tape or — better still — take him to court is doing so.

He has even been rebuked for refusing to hire illegal immigrants at SpaceX — despite SpaceX falling in a category of technologies that have special rules governing who should have access to them for reasons of national defense.

It’s nakedly political. They’re giving him the ‘death by 1000 cuts’ treatment, including slow-walking the launches of his rockets.

As Vivek mentioned in his introduction just before Trump took the stage, we’re not up against Biden or Kamala. It’s the same no matter which face the put on the campaign bus. Because really, we’re up against a machine. And we’re voting for someone to dismantle that machine.

We weren’t running against Biden before. We’re not running against Harris now. We’re up against a machine. And we require a Commander-in-Chief who is ready to *dismantle* it. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/g4y69YBbeU

Vivek put out another tweet showing how a the entire apparatus of red tape control might be entirely unconstitutional… and that the war against Elon might help justify ripping the entire regulatory state down to the studs with strict limitations on exactly what they do and do not have oversight over.

Here’s what that tweet said:

Resisting the pull of government bureaucracy turns out to be harder than escaping Earth’s gravity well. Looks like SpaceX is waiting on a license from the FAA before it can launch Starship. This means the company founded by @elonmusk has to “prove” to a bunch of federal regulators that the launch won’t be harmful, and then those same regulators get to decide whether SpaceX made a strong enough case. These decisions rely on the regulators’ discretion, which makes it easy for them to insert their own biases.

This method of regulating isn’t just dangerous, it’s also probably unconstitutional. In June, SCOTUS ruled in SEC v. Jarkesy that agencies can’t house judges, prosecutors & rule-writers under the same roof. If a government agency tries to fine you, you now get to plead your case in front of an actual jury, not some in-house tribunal run by the same agency. As Columbia law professor Philip Hamburger recently argued, our current licensing regime “goes much further than denying jury rights.” If the Court is serious about restoring due process, they’ll extend the reasoning of Jarkesy to cover these kinds of federal licenses – and I believe they will.

Two years earlier, the West Virginia v. EPA decision established that “major questions” with large economic consequences are reserved for Congress, not unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. The case went far beyond nullifying a few EPA regulations, and it’s hard to think of a question with larger economic consequences than who wins the 21st-century Space Race.

Armed with this precedent, a future administration could dismantle most of the regulatory state with a few strokes of the pen, restoring self-governance & unleashing the U.S. economy like never before. We might even get that Mars colony we dreamed of.

SCOTUS has already shown the way.

It’s up to political leaders to take up the machetes and cut down the strangler vines that have been choking the life out of America.
