An investigation by Reuters has revealed that at least 72 liens have been filed against SpaceX and its contractors in Texas since 2019 by over two dozen construction firms and suppliers. Liens are legal claims filed by creditors against debtors' assets to ensure payment. The total value of the liens against SpaceX's properties in Texas is at least $2.5 million. Some liens have been resolved, but many businesses are still owed significant amounts by SpaceX, leading to dissatisfaction and strained relationships. The situation has become more complex with subcontractors also filing liens. Small businesses like CMC Construction and Hydroz Energy Services LLC are among those reportedly facing unpaid bills. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has faced similar issues with unpaid bills in the past. The rate of liens being filed against SpaceX has increased, indicating a growing problem.
