In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.
This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.
The people at SpaceX are poisoning landscapes that used to be neighborhoods with toxic waste because the company doesn‘t give a shit about the environment, people or the planet. Fuck whoever works at SpaceX and partakes in this. Oh, they‘re also making Musk even more powerful so that‘s a double L.
I’m gonna need a source for that. I follow SpaceX fairly closely (as a fan of the engineering, not Musk), and I can’t think of where this could possibly be happening, even through a wild misunderstanding of a situation.
SpaceX like to dump their waste in the closest river.
Oh, that. If you read the article, you’ll see that the “toxic waste” was really just used water from the deluge system. Think of it like rinsing off your car and the runoff getting into a river. A good chunk of the water was collected too, so the actual discharge was much less. On top of that, it was later clarified that SpaceX could continue the operations while the permit process was sorted out, which happened a few months after that article IIRC. It was basically a nothingburger that a few commentators tried to blow up.
Cool, you can drink the mercury water, but I’ll pass thanks.
