a short explainer on the SpaceX lawsuit (including some of the industrial board’s best jokes)
“Back door?” a boardmember jokes. “Doesn’t have to be the front door,” a lawyer laughs.
Recordings I obtained capture how a dormant Louisiana board approved SpaceX’s $100B spaceport with a codename, one notice on a courthouse door and no public comment. Now residents are suing.

The property-tax exemption alone is worth nearly $23.8 billion. The payments cover about 3 cents of every tax dollar SpaceX would otherwise owe.
Records also show a SpaceX executive signed a notice of lease five days before the board voted.

The public notice for the board’s meetings? A piece of paper posted inside the courthouse.
At the board’s first meeting, a lawyer explained that notice could be posted somewhere in the building.
“Back door?” a member joked.
“Doesn’t have to be the front door,” the lawyer said.

Hours later, Gov. Jeff Landry announced the spaceport at an invitation-only event.
The lawsuit alleges the secrecy started weeks earlier, when parish officials revived a board dormant for nearly 30 years. The board wasn’t on the agenda until jurors added it during the meeting.
