The California Coastal Commission, the oft-controversial body tasked with protecting the state’s coast, is again in the crosshairs of Musk and congressional Republicans, who’ve raised alarms that residents with homes destroyed by the Palisades Fire are in store for a permitting nightmare if they try to rebuild.

Musk was fact-checked by an L.A. firefighter in his own livestream after repeating a popular lie about “water shortages.”

Last night in a bizarre press-conference-for-one, a member of the LA County Fire Command Team schooled Elon Musk in the basic physics of water pressure — shutting down his racist assertion that DEI is somehow to blame for the fires raging in California.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and tech billionaire Elon Musk have found common ground with their shared disdain for a controversial state agency – and Republicans are misrepresenting the governor's position as they threaten to withhold disaster aid.
