Meanwhile if you put a couple of solar panels on your roof without filling out nineteen different forms in triplicate, providing a notarized drawing by a licensed architectural firm, paying $2000 in fees plus enduring the eleven month processing time, your local code authority will put a lien on your property and send a SWAT team to your house.
Has this happened?
It’s one part hyperbole, one part true.
It’s sad that the norm is to expect those in power will try to ruin lives as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just why… They have billions of dollars already… Why
Because they’re in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don’t have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It’s just a pissing contest and unfortunately they’re really careless
One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.
There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.
It’s really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it’s enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.
Vietnam would have had him executed by now
It’s still punishable by death! Not legally, officially, but very much in reality!
Sounds like just anothwr day in the USA
people did that work, just because elon musk tells people what to do doesn’t mean those people should be exonerated from the consequences as well. the people doing the work sure as shit falls out there ass, know there was no permit. if there no permit, then why not a great fire ball in the night sky.
I agree, Elon is not at fault here. All he did was finance it with enough money to convince people to ignore the law.
Paying someone to do a crime is the same as doing the crime.
Cause —>Effect.
Sorry, my sarcasm did not translate through text. I was trying to poke at the original commenters shifting of blame from Elon to the people that he hired
Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.

He, like any shillionaire, sees people as NPCs.
That’s why he was so enthusiastic to kill infants, children, teens and adults by cutting USAID.
If he’s ever admitted to a hospital, I genuinely hope that he’s left to suffer and rot.
Can someone just shoot the bastard?
Or at least sabotage the facility?
Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.
It’s shocking that they just seem to sit out there in the open. Afaik they are very delicate and fragile machines.
Would be a shame if something hapens to those…
Time for hostile take over.
Damn, kickin’ it old school!
Can someone do something about this racist Afrikaans piece of shit?
JC, every other post on here is about data centers, Elon Musk or White House legislation. Can’t we talk about technology instead of US politics?
