Dogleg Park LLC, a subsidiary of SpaceX, played a central role in acquiring approximately 37 acres of land near Boca Chica for the development of the SpaceX Starbase launch facility. This acquisition, executed through a corporate vehicle that benefited from substantial subsidies, tax exemptions, and close political ties, highlights concerns over regulatory capture and economic collusion, which some critics argue facilitate the expansion of corporate power in ways that may undermine democratic accountability.

Dogleg Park LLC, a subsidiary of SpaceX, has been implicated in a controversial land swap deal in Texas, wherein state park land is exchanged with property allegedly acquired through opaque corporate structures. This process, which involved a rushed and untransparent approach, raises concerns about regulatory capture and economic collaboration that may subvert public accountability and promote corporate interests over community welfare.
