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.
Yes. I'm pretty sure it's a contractor's job to get the permits. Is it not?
Not removing blame from Elon. Just smearing the blame around cause all those fucks are responsible
They are just going to call it another "Sacrifice Zone" like they do the cancer alley in Louisiana arent they?
Some people just are expendable for progress, what can the country do?
Im sure the American legal system will get those wheels of justice spinning on this in a few years.
No, but Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will win hella Oscars playing the plucky white women who "take them down."
training wheels of justice
My city finally got a court order against a billionaire for unpermitted building that allows us to bulldoze his house. Just took 7 years in court to get the ruling...
And instead of bulldozing the house, we were able to use the court order to strongarm them into fixing their site so it no longer damages the environment, their neighbors, or city infrastructure.
The upside for the city there (aside from having to bid out and manage a major project in-house) is that we get a lot more tax revenue from a house that is brought into compliance than a scarred, demolished site.
Musk will power those spinning wheels himself with his natural gas turbines.

One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.
People like this would be shot. People would group together and hire gunmen to get rid of criminals in the old west.
Of course their security was just a few body guards and that's it. Nobody was living in high tech buildings separate from everyone else.
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.
It's still punishable by death! Not legally, officially, but very much in reality!
Vietnam would have had him executed by now

Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
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.
Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.
To a proportionate degree yes, but AI is being shoved down the throats of workers and subsidized by the companies providing it too. I have some sympathy for the clueless grandma, or the person who's genuinely lost their mind thanks to this.
I have zero sympathy for the willfully ignorant. There’s more than enough information and evidence that this shit is horrible on many fronts, and anyone who has managed to ignore it is toeing into dangerously stupid territory. Making excuses for dumb assholes is how we’ve ended up with the stupidest cunts ever running things.
Dario Amodei is the one renting out the servers while pretending to he's the Wholesome Ethical AI Guy. His behavior is nearly on par with Musk here.
I'm much more interested in him (behavior that's extremely intentional, with the added slime of being deceptive and yet enjoying a ton of undeserved, fawning PR) than the average clueless Meemaw. Similar to many other trash systems, you have to look at the people maintaining the system, not the people using it.
It's nice to see Elon following in his father's footsteps of hurting black people in an effort to get even more needlessly rich. Honestly though, somebody should take Elon back to South Africa and hurl him down a mineshaft.
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.
Don't worry, it's only affecting a poor area. No billionairs are affected.

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.
I hope Elon dies and I hope it's painful; dying would be the first positive thing he ever contributed to humanity
Shoot him into space on one of his or Bezos' rockets. Watch him explode as a result of the very thing he tried to accomplish.
Spacexs operational rockers are a standard of reliability
Blue needs a operational launchpad first, they kinda blew up their only one
Also that would be a rather quick death

It's shocking that they just seem to sit out there in the open. Afaik they are very delicate and fragile machines.
Damn, kickin' it old school!
Can someone just shoot the bastard?
As Trump is learning with Iran, if you make enemies by the millions, you risk awakening a plumber.
Or at least sabotage the facility?

Gee golly, someone will surely do something…
I swear I read an article about this months ago... is it the same data center and they still didn't stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?
Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.
