Either that’s a typo or @Aspenglow has been living a double life.
Sorry. Asmongold.
Sssshhhhhhh.
Melon Husk is almost done building a Tesla lithium processing plant outside Corpus Christi, Texas, that will require about 8 million gallons of fresh water a day, in a drought-plagued region where they ration water for kids to take showers before high-school football games.
That really is truly insane, along with all the attendant crypto bs (that the new administration will try to really push). Elon handwaving water scarcity issues like this, like he’s done in the past, should, (along with his handwaving of a very potential Kessler Effect catastrophy), really place this piece of shit, this child with too much money, in his own separate pantheon of grotesque awfulness.
So where’s his next plant? Outside of Phoenix? Bakersfield?
ETA: meh, that latter option might be Regulation City for poor Elon.
Greenland. They’ve got LOTS of water, right?
I had the exact same thought, Smapti. We are the stupidest fucking species on the planet. We’re just gonna sit here and let this bastard strip the earth of it’s vital resources.
With all this time on his hands, it’s a shame that Elon couldn’t find a minute to, you know, do what’s needed to produce rockets less prone to blowing up.
I continue to be surprised that Musk, who glories in ATTENTION!!! as much as his co-President Trump, hasn’t donated anything toward LA wildfire recovery. A measly 10 million, pocket change for him, and he could milk it for praise all he wanted to.
He’s building them a submarine
What has California ever done for Elon (other than provide him with an educated workforce, roads and utilities, tax breaks and subsidies, et cetera)?

Provided Starlink terminals and Cybertrucks to power them to first responders in areas without power and/or cell service. Supposedly very helpful in coordinating actions. Also did the same in the upstate Carolinas after the hurricane. I feel dirty defending this childlike jerk.
If someone bad does something good, don’t criticize them for it. Say, “Good, do more stuff like that, and also do less of the bad stuff.”
Maybe their backwards policies are part of the problem?
Isn’t that his companies that donated those, not Musk personally? It’s easy to be generous with shareholders’ money.
He announced it / took credit for it. Did he personally buy the terminals, etc… No
Whose actual idea it was? …

He at least didn’t prevent or stop it.
My boss is trying to get rid of his Tesla truck that he bought a few months back. He’ll never admit he hates it though.
If only life worked that way:
On January 9, Elon Musk announced to his 213 million followers on X that he would provide a “free” month of internet access to those impacted by the deadly wildfires in Southern California. It would be offered through Starlink, a satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, Musk’s space exploration company.
…
Starting February 10, anyone who purchased a $349 kit and claimed the “free” service will be transferred to “a paid Residential subscription,” which is currently $120 monthly. Existing Starlink customers living in eligible areas were given a one-month subscription credit.
But the actual deployment of Cybertrucks for relief efforts appeared to be limited. According to a post by Tesla later on January 12, eight Cybertrucks with Starlink kits were deployed in the area, including three in the parking lot of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in Altadena. The company emphasized that the bed of at least one Cybertruck was stocked with snacks. A picture of the truck showed several dozen bananas, two bags of oranges, a tub of red licorice, and other items.
It is possible that more Cybertrucks were deployed, but no further updates were provided by Tesla. There is no evidence that a “grid” of wifi access points benefiting a significant number of Angelenos ever materialized. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

What? Eloon may have Xaggerated his announcement/claims?
I feel better now relegating him to the dirt pile again - and I don’t like licorice.
