Texan construction workers put a rocket up Team SpaceX over 'unpaid bills'

Amid the hullabaloo over SpaceX building out its rocket-launching empire in Texas, there are signs it's not all tickety-boo – in that it seems not everyone is being paid on time.

It's a way for folks, particularly small businesses, to ensure they eventually get paid what they are owed, and it puts some pressure on the debtor to cough up. With scores of liens filed against SpaceX and its contractors – and some suppliers grumbling about unpaid bills – it all points to an unhappy time.

We're told some of these liens were resolved – such as for Martin Marietta, a supply firm that had an outstanding bill of $557,611. It filed its lien in January and got paid in March, it's said.It's not certain how many workers are being brought back on to the car maker's Supercharging unit, but the former director of charging for North America, Max de Zegher, is returning to his old role.on Friday.

However, not all creditors have been so lucky. It's reported that materials supplier CMC Construction billed SpaceX in 2022 for $129,592, GC Steel & Accessories LLC charged the biz $99,591 over a year and a half ago, and Osburn Contractors LLC claims it's owed $67,289.
