Then why did they: 1) Incorporate the are around the facility as its own town and 2) Influence the EPA to weaken oversight over the harm they are doing to the environment in that area. If this is how you mean they are leaders in this industry, corruption pays I guess
1.) to get access to services such as fire and rescue, to better upgrade the roads that were subpar and to plan for the future buildup of the site 2.) they didn’t. The EPA also hasn’t really got that much influence. The state authorities do
Lolol. The EPA was looking into SpaceX(plode) before Elon “joined” the Federal Government and made sure to stop the enforcement action that was ongoing. Also, to point 1, if SpaceX agreed to pay the taxes necessary to benefit the community as a whole, that infrastructure project could happen
They weren’t. They did, then concluded their investigation and fined told the TCEQ (who actually has authority and mistakenly approved them on a different license) to fine them a whole…few grand…for potable water escaping a pad… It wasn’t stopped lmao
Wonder why the “found” in favor of 250 million USD backer of the current administration so quickly after coming into office? Crazy how corruption works
What is that even supposed to be referring to? They fucking fined them you moron
Why are you such an angry bot? Cause i am not buying your BS?
It’s not BS lmfao. You’re just in such a level of denial for reality that you call ESTABLISHED and EASILY VERIFIABLE FACT as being BS XD
You really think i stupid and naive to believe your viewpoint. Forget it. I feel like i am going back and forth with a bot and it is tiring.
Likewise
They were fined $150k for their deluge system. A small fine because it was a small violation that happened because the TCEQ put them on the wrong discharge license
A small fine to a big corporation. Exactly
Yes because it was a minor violation that wasn’t their fault. Yet they still got fined for it
And I’m not mad or a bot my guy. I’m laughing at you because I have accepted the concepts of not only being wrong and not denying it but also accepting reality when it’s reality and not automatically assuming it’s BS because it doesn’t fit a narrative I hold
You have that anger energy. I can see it cause I have it myself. Its okay. Fanboy away. The space program will run just fantastic in the hands of private corporations after being given a 60+year head start by the US government. Enjoy the show I suppose
Maybe it’s because I had an actual upbringing that taught me those lessons and critical thought but who knows. Either way I seriously recommend developing these skills yourself before it bites you
And SpaceX does pay their taxes. They’ve also invested millions into local schools and for the revitalisation of the local city of Brownsville
Not to mention creating thousands of jobs in one of the most deprived areas of the U.S.
Ahh the old adage of Jobs > Environment. I have a children’s book for you to read to make it really easy understand what depravity you are talking about. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. Report back Grok AI when you process this.
You do realise they have had environmental impact assessments conducted, numerous mitigated FONSI’s issued, work closely with the FWS (who manage the area) and are required to protect the reserve next door right?
RIP Boca Chica Beach
No. It’s better than ever my guy It was rundown and forgotten until SpaceX came along. It’s well documented and backed up by natives who aren’t rabidly obsessed with it when they never visited before
That is insane greenwashing by you. The suggest the following article to hear what the natives have to say www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/s...
There are no jobs, liar.
Lmao no I’m not a liar There are 140 jobs currently still being advertised. They employ over 1000 directly (and many more contractors)
They’re actually killing people in Boxtown, Tenn. which is directly affected by your Colossus Computer System Plant. They had a Town-Hall mtg. where 1 of ur guys came in, read a 15 second paragraph stating compliance with EPA & left w/o taking questions. The air & water has already been poisoned.
SpaceX are killing people in a place they don’t even operate?
Elon, stop it. It’s happening. The plant is ginormous. R u going 2 deny Colossus’s existence? Umm, I can’t tell you 2 do a Google Search but I can tell others. You picked a 99.9% Black community 2 build that monster knowing the harm it would cause. If there r jobs, let ur SA friends work there.
Why are you obsessed with Musk? Got a crush on him or something?
Not anywhere close to you fanboy.
No, Elon. I don’t have a crush on you.
You’re definitely Elon.
