The things we know are finite; the things we don’t know are infinite. This used to make me believe knowledge is unlimited and we should strive to learn more. Now when I hear this it makes me believe there’s an infinite supply of stupid idiots who are easily manipulated by rich psychotic assholes.
To most people, the shit Elon is pulling is in the far away distance, but as a resident of Austin (and Central Texas in general) I am worried about the bullshit he is doing with his wastewater disposal in the Colorado River. He is such a liar that he cannot be taken seriously and I hope there is a continuous monitoring system in place to ensure they are complying with TCEQ regulations and not just dumping utter shit into the river.
I’m also worried about the environmental impact his boring and drilling is doing to the surrounding areas. It took nearly a decade to get the crappy Mopac toll built because of some endangered species spider caves, but Elon is free to drill as much as he wants outside of Austin with no oversight. Local residents have complained about his activities close to their land but nobody really cares to address their concerns relating to infrastructure when it comes to anything Elon Musk does.
