He recounted a regulatory hurdle with the FAA that initially hindered relief efforts but praised Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for swiftly resolving the issue once it was brought to his attention. “When I complained about it, he reacted in a very levelheaded way, and he reached out to me, and he called me,” he stated, referring to Buttigieg. “We discussed the issue, got to the bottom of it and he fixed it.” California Politics: Musk’s Critique Of Newsom’s Policies Musk didn’t mince words when addressing California’s political landscape under Newsom.
