Oct. 16 (UPI) -- SpaceX sued the California Coastal Commission Tuesday, alleging bias against Elon Musk's right-wing politics in a decision not to allow the company to launch more rockets from an Air Force base in the state.

The suit alleged that the commission "egregiously and unlawfully" overreached its authority and "engaged in naked political discrimination" against SpaceX.
