Don’t hold the multi trillionaire accountable tho
Let’s charge them a comically small fine, that’ll teach them not to do it again!
$5
This is what motherfickers do when there’s no consequences for breaking the law
If our government isn’t up to holding criminals responsible, then it needs to be replaced root to stem.
From the article:
None of this is illegal as currently constituted, because the permit that was written does not require monitoring for the things the independent lab found.
No law is being broken. This may be terrible, but it’s legal.
Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of “evil corporation” to me.Said pipe:
That’s comically evil, except it’s not funny.
At a rate of like 2 and a half gallons of that sludge a second.
I like this take. More shit needs to be not funny.
For some reason I was expecting it to be fully submerged underground at least until the ditch
This article links to another article that has it on video and photographed. You can see the clearly black liquid flowing into the clear water in the drainage ditch. Helps to click the link and read the article!
I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I’d have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.
Yea I’d rather have something closer to the source as well but maybe they don’t wanna give MSNBC the traffic as readily 🤷
Why bother with expensive waste disposing process when you can just dump it somewhere.
Externalities make the capitalism go round
We towed it outside the environment
It’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in an environment… all there is out there is sea, birds, fish, and 20,000 tons of crude oil.
Plug pipe.
Wait nearby for repair crew & arrest them.
Repeat.
Don’t even wait for the drainage district to do it. What’s Tesla going to do, sue you for blocking their illegal dumping?
I think that the crew shouldn’t be held accountable and are victims themselves. So they should be treated with kindness. But in light of this case of course that is more likely to happen than seeing any real consequences for people in charge.
It’s Texas so nobody will do anything
Which is why he moved there in the first place
They do love their pipelines of black liquids in Texas.

You have just helped me to understand a decades old joke. Thank you.

Ah, the good old Swedish Drink.
Deregulated Red Run Oblast problems and the voters continue to support it. “Ain’t shit gonna happen to the dirty neo-Nazi.” Good luck with the lack of potable water situation you morons.
Who is going to drink the forbidden juice? At least it will cure your depression.
Probably Joe Rogan.
Hopefully it’s fatal

Who would play the young upstart that idolizes/challenges a grizzled and worn out Julia Roberts?
Tesla should receive a FIFA environmental prize.
What it did not do, explicitly, was grant Tesla the right to use public or private property for wastewater conveyance. The drainage district that manages the ditch the pipe was discharging into was never notified that the permit existed. Its workers found out the way drainage district workers in any small Texas county find out about things: by walking the ditch and seeing something new.
If the discharge permit is a good thing or a bad thing for the environment is another topic. But right now this seems to be the only legal issue in the room, right?
At least one that implicates Tesla. The people that permitted them to discharge and didn’t include relevant pollutant values in said discharge are
having a bad dayenjoying their private yacht.Is there a reputable source for that or is autonocion some sort of reputable news outlet?
All msm controlled by corporations. They stop tahkiing when they told
Guess this is a conspiratory theory then or in support of one.
Google the headline. USAtoday, Texas Tribune, and Insideclimatenews are a couple on the first page. It seems wild to just shrug off something as conspiracy without even checking unless ones own bias is the culprit.
Texas Tribune is pretty reputable:
I couldn’t find any analysis of autonotion, but they link to a local TV station’s site KRIS TV which does have a decent reputation
Click the link. In the first paragraph it links to a kristv (msnbc?) article. Has photo and video in that article as well. Too many people here comment without reading…
I clicked it and the site didn’t seem reputable. And I don’t know msnbc.
So… because you don’t know MSNBC you’ve decided it’s a conspiracy theory?
We are so doomed I give up
No?
Dude u live under a rock then. MSNBC is one of the big 3 up there with CNN and fox in terms of size and recognition. I worry what news outlets you DO know, probably just the Tesla newsletter from the sounds of it. Not to mention is easier than ever to Google the title and get 6 other sources. Your either a shill or incredibly ignorant and incompetent, although I suppose likely both.
I am not an American. I don’t watch American television.
Me neither. And I knew it when I was 14 years of age. Which was a long time ago. If You know fox then you (should) know MSNBC.
Found the Musk shill.
1 I don’t know 2 it is not
It was probably some guy in a makes on TV claiming it

So, which entry-level employee with no ability to be responsible for this will be fired, and how big will the fine they won’t have to pay be?
Companies don’t make structural mistakes. They are famously individualistic and unorganized and all illegal acts are by lone wolves and bad apples. All good work is done by CEO or the board. The rest of the individuals are parasites
