There it is. I knew there was a reason

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 114 points 4 months ago

This is just one of many reasons, for example

The FAA head pushed out by Musk before all the planes started crashing had fairly recently fined spaceX for safety issues.

It's just pettiness and entitlement. He's going after everyone who has ever said no to him.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 87 points 4 months ago

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

[-] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 46 points 4 months ago

This, starlink regarding Russia invading Ukraine, and I'm gonna guess spacex regarding government contracts? Idk about that 3rd one being investigated but it's definitely one of the many conflicts of interest.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 36 points 4 months ago

tesla has been investigated, as well.. so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink.. old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be...

so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

I think boring company wasn't...

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Were they drilling tunnels for trains in California which never materialized?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

that was his scam, he was afraid of CALIFORNIA developing thier high speed rail way system, so he came up with the hyperloop scam so he can force california to abandon it, furthermore they tried again when trump was in power the 1st time, Elaine chao(lich mcconnels wife, blocked all funding for it)

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's probably those conflicts of interest I had in mind.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

space x being investigated for dumping illegally around the sites.

SpaceX is still doing truly revolutionary work, and that usually gets you in regulatory trouble. Of everything Musk, I think this company is the greatest thing his paws have made.

I will change opinion if his dream is actually becoming the dictator of the first Nazi Mars Colony, but I wish SpaceX much success in its endeavors for the time being.

[-] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

That's what he'll target next, of course. These "geniuses" are so dumb and predictable.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 55 points 4 months ago

This shit is so fucking Russian. Blatantly corrupt.

This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses' questionable-at-best ethics.

[-] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Just wait until NASA issues another contract to SpaceX so they can blow up another $5 billion in taxpayer dollars

Isn’t that the place where fElons go?

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 months ago

No, some of them become president.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Too easy for the rich to get out. Bring out the guillotines.

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 45 points 4 months ago

That is the main reason of Dodges existence, what did you think would happen?

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago

conservative communities wont comment on this. They love massive conflict of interests. clowns.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

because fox, right wing sources and russia will direct them to rage about culture wars instead, conservatives are not bright when it comes to thing like class warfare, luigi momentarily broke them out of thier "echo chambers". i onced followed a asian yotbers who was known right wing, but wasnt in your face pre-pandemic, everyone was cringed that his information is very outdated and dint know what to talk about when regard to policies.

He drives a Tesla so it's a real possibility

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago

Nope. No conflict of interest there at all. ..

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 33 points 4 months ago

This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 27 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

musk shagged(surrogate) the head of the neuralink division in texas a and M and made her produce a child for him. he and the university performed unsanctioned experiments on MONKEYs causing them to suffer, and musk's response"they were going to die any ways".

when you are in a university performing research on animals, theres regulations and protocols to follow, they probably dint do that. this makes the university look bad for doing this.

I can see trials going on at Gitmo in a year

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago

Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

I think that this company needs to be burned to the ground.

[-] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 4 months ago

Seems like "drain the swamp" turned into "put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest"

[-] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago

Awwww, how convenient. An illegal immigrant doesn't want to be investigated.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

We gotta get the dems back in power so they can prosecute elmo!!!

These fucking cunts

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

Maybe Independence was a bad idea

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Gizmodo is a trash source, they are telling you what you want to hear.

These people were collateral from their scatter shot mass firing of all probationary employees. Breaking the agencies that regulate his businesses is the goal, but they aren't specifically targeting employees who are regulating his products.
