“The local utility says it’s going to need a million gallons of water per day and 150 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 100,000 homes per year. “ I wasn’t sure what they meant with that water usage. Like does the water get recirculated and it’s a one time expense? Or is it a million gallons discharged into a river or sewer ever single day? Is it tainted? Or just evaporates from a cooling tower? Seems like a huge waste.

The Tesla CEO simply couldn’t resist using his own platform to say something sexist, controversial – and downright creepy, writes Ryan Coogan
Seriously. Just stop it already.
I write this with sadness knowing Alex Risen, Predator Poachers, Is a piece of shit racist asshole with no real morals and is using the "Ima pedo hunter" as a reason to just spew stupid shit no one cares about. I genuinely did not know this when I first got into his channel, and I was holding out hope that "Maybe he's changed?" Nope... Still being a complete manchild on Twitter. I don't really have issues with white people saying the n-word (it fr depends ima be real), but it's clear to me this guy has 0 understanding of black culture. For me- you have to actually understand black culture, black people and have a sense of respect for them to even fathom sucha word. But if you're just an asshole who spews garbage for the hell of it and uses baby diddlers as a means to gain popularity??? No. Go to jail. **(please don't shoot me for this opinion, I'm black myself, idgaf if my friends say it, there's a time and place, and I don't really let the soft-A control how I feel at all. In the case of Alex Rosen, it's not offensive to me; it's just disrespectful as hell.)** Ima delete my account from this website... The fact the CEO uses people's emails to *removed* and moan about dumb shit like this is- wow... Not sure what I was expecting but wow. Im just Disappointed
Rumble us so goofy ISTG. I only use it because of Predator Poachers. But I tend to forget its an alt-right platform

It's pretty cool how Lonnie can defy a court judgement using his multiple companies as leverage and not be arrested or face any repercussions whatsoever. /s

A while ago, I gave a one star review for Berlin's Tesla Giga Factory, without a comment. Some of my unmentioned reasons: [Tesla's first European factory needs more water to expand. Drought stands in its way](https://www.npr.org/2022/11/03/1131695382/tesla-ev-electric-vehicles-europe-germany-drought-climate-change-factory) [About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/aug/22/trees-cut-down-site-tesla-gigafactory-germany-deforestation) [Elon Musk and his conspiracy-laden leap to the extreme-right](https://english.elpais.com/technology/2023-12-18/elon-musk-and-his-conspiracy-laden-leap-to-the-extreme-right.html) My review was removed yesterday.

autotranslated: Faced with the lack of a legal representative of the social network X in Brazil, the minister of the Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes blocked accounts of the company Starlink Holding, which also belongs to billionaire Elon Musk – which provoked a new reaction from the businessman (read more below) Last week, Moraes considered the existence of a “de facto economic group” under Musk and, on August 18, ordered the blocking of all the financial values of this group in Brazil, to guarantee the payment of fines imposed by the Brazilian Justice against Rede X. According to aides to the office of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the other company under Elon Musk in the country – in addition to the X – is precisely Starlink, which operates in Brazil in the sale of internet services by satellite, especially in the North region. What Starlink is and how does it work Elon Musk compares Alexandre de Moraes to movie villains All Starlink leaders in Brazil have already been notified and subpoenaed to also answer for the amounts due to the Brazilian Justice by X. After the blockade of the accounts, the billionaire returned to criticize Alexandre de Moraes - whom, on Wednesday (28), compared to villains of films (see video above). In a publication in X on Thursday (29), Musk called the minister "dictator" and said that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) is conniving with him. “The tyrant Alexandre [de Moraes] is the dictator of Brazil. Lula is his dog,” Musk wrote in a free translation. The businessman Elon Musk decided, according to announced on the 17th, to close the X office in Brazil. The reason is the fact that the company does not agree with the fines imposed by the Supreme Court or with the determination of withdrawal of content published by users on the social network that confront the Democratic State of Law and Brazilian legislation. Since then, Minister Alexandre de Moraes has gone on to request the businessman to establish a legal representative to officially answer for the acts of the platform.

The decision was released overnight, in a post on the STF’s profile on X, in response to the company’s post made on August 17 about the closure of the office. On that occasion, in addition to announcing the closure of the office and the withdrawal of its representative from the country, the platform informed that the network would continue to be used in the country.

Could this all be a setup to offload his huge failure onto the Trump cult? I don't think it's a 4D chess thing. It does seem on brand though.
