SpaceX has strongly refuted the Federal Aviation Administration's conclusion that it violated U.S. regulations during two rocket launches earlier this year.

The FAA asserts that Elon Musk's aerospace company failed to comply with safety protocols in June and July 2023, actions that could result in $633,000 in fines.

Musk has dismissed the penalties as politically motivated and has suggested that SpaceX may sue to contest the FAA's findings.
