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.”

Both Gov. Gavin Newsom and Elon Musk are raising questions about whether the Coastal Commission can block home rebuilds, reviving a classic debate over environmental preservation versus development.
