Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s (SpaceX) subsidiary Space Exploration Holdings, LLC. and retail giant Amazon's Kuiper subsidiary continue to submit strongly worded responses to each other at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Their spar took a strong turn yesterday after Amazon filed a blistering response to Starlink's reply to Amazon questioning Starlink's latest FCC filings. Starlink plans to launch roughly 30,000 new spacecraft as part of its second-generation (Gen2) satellites, and it has requested the FCC to let it change the satellites' orbital parameters to spread out the spacecraft evenly for global coverage and to accommodate SpaceX's Starship next-generation launch vehicle system currently under development in Boca Chica, Texas.

In Amazon's latest response to Starlink, the company aims at SpaceX's chief Mr. Elon Musk. It claims that Mr. Musk and his companies only operate outside the rules set for others. It cites several incidents where both SpaceX and Tesla ignored regulators, to boost this notion and outlines that, "[I]f the FCC regulated hypocrisy, SpaceX would be keeping the Commission very busy."
