The pilot called out the tower controller and later spoke with NorCal departure and approach controllers, who were in agreement with the pilot. The go arounds were caused by an aircraft being cleared to taxi onto the runway for takeoff, but there wasn't enough separation. The incident resulted in a roughly 30 minute delay for the United flight.
