The FAA doesn’t need any encouragement from President Biden to slow-walk any permits for SpaceX. Elon Musk is his own worst enemy when it comes to dealing with the FAA, and pretty much any other government agency. He has routinely gone on record saying that the FAA is inept or incompetent when it comes to overseeing rocket launches and reentries. He may have a point, but saying so on television or the newspapers is only going to prompt them to go slower and ask for even more data before they approve anything. Try calling the guys at the local FSDO lazy and stupid and see what happens when you submit a 337 request.
