The US labor board is abandoning a years-long legal battle against Elon Musk's SpaceX and signaling it will steer clear of future cases against the company, according to a letter from the board cited by the New York Times and Bloomberg.

True innovation lives where deep technical insight meets ignored, convention-bound assumptions. There's a kind of arbitrage in innovation that's easy to miss because it doesn't look like arbitrage at all. It lives in the gap between what physics allows and what institutions assume is possible. The reason it persists is that exploiting it requires developing genuine expertise in domains where most have neither the background nor the patience.
