The pipe belonged to Tesla. The dark liquid was wastewater from the company's nearly $1 billion lithium refinery, which began operations in December 2024 and
Crime scene, blood everywhere, factory owner should be charged for every pollutant found in a 10km radius on the assumption it came through that pipe at some point and we’ll walk it backwards from there.
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.
*oh what a surprise. the musk anti-fandom took offense.
exactly the type of missing the point that I was talking about *

I just wish the musk circlejerk stayed in /c/enough_musk_spam. I’m not obsessed with him so I don’t care about his texas drainage permits any more than anyone else’s county drainage permits.

The only reason to care about this ‘story’ is if you enjoy getting mad at musk. It is so absurdly inconsequential compared to all the stuff happening in the world that is actually newsworthy. I don’t care if people want to obsess over him but it should be in a community for it. This isn’t tech news.
Nothing in the lab report. Everything in the lab report is far to low to be ‘black stuff’. So I don’t know and those who do are not talking.
So far I have to go with this is nothing but haters trying to yell without concern for facts. If we get more details I may change my mind but for now this is nothing and anyone saying otherwise should be embarrassed for their lack of concern for facts.
It’s still an illegal discharge. There are multiple things listed that are not good for the local environment. Even phosphorus and ammonia can be damaging by stimulating algae blooms.
Neither hexavalent chromium nor arsenic appears in Tesla’s TCEQ discharge permit as an allowable pollutant. Neither was tested for during TCEQ’s February investigation.
Yeah, so what’s the black stuff and why is the grass dying then? I guess they just need to expand what they’re testing for.
Or conduct an inspection of the plant itself and find out what they’re using, and where that pipe goes.
Have you not seen the Fifth Element? It’s the same black ooze that drips off Guiliani.
Pure refined evil.

Absolutely nobody gives a fuck.

He’s a literal Nazi. There are less appropriate people to hate.

*Ironic because I missed/ignored theirs.
Are you trying to say that Elon Musk isn’t an avowed Nazi? Prevarication is not the same thing as nuance.

Oh wow the state of Texas authorized it? Well in that case I’m sure it’s fine! They’re renowned for their environmental safety and concern.
