A lot of people get off on hating musk, they only really want an excuse at this point. Like the very upvoted comment 'I don't care if it's outputting pure spring water'.
Nobody would care about this at all if it was any other company. 'Company erodes county owned ditch without proper permit with water that would meet drinking water standards if you dilute it by half'. But people enjoy getting mad at musk so it gets clicks and upvotes. And of course this and every other comment that isn't saying musk should be hanged for this will be downvoted because nuance is dead and if you're not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.
There is not so much of a shortage of real problems in the world that some permitting issue over a ditch in texas deserves global attention.
Yea. I mean large companies in the past do have a history of getting away with things until it just becomes too much, and also, Musk does put himself in a lot of topics. It's understandable to see people firmly stand on one side of an argument.
It's the Internet we all have different viewpoints.
