Save RGV, a local environmental nonprofit group, had filed a lawsuit in federal court against SpaceX for its alleged release of untreated industrial waste water.

Under the Clean Water Act, the suit seeks to halt the “recurring” and “unpermitted discharges of untreated industrial wastewater from the deluge system at the SpaceX Boca Chica Launch Site into waters of the United States.”

SpaceX maintains that it never operated the deluge system without the state or federal go-ahead. The EPA did notify SpaceX on March 13, however, that it violated the Clean Water Act when deploying the deluge system.

SpaceX was ordered to comply with federal regulations but did not face an EPA fine at the time.

The Australian eSafety commissioner took the matter to the Federal Court after X Corp challenged a $610,500 fine in September 2023.

The fine stemmed from an infringement notice issued by eSafety because X Corp had not provided information about how it was meeting the basic online safety expectations in relation to child sexual exploitation and abuse material and activity on Twitter.

In a 30-second hearing at the Federal Court in Melbourne on Friday, Justice Michael Wheelahan dismissed the proceeding and order X Corp to pay eSafety’s legal costs.

So the judge agreed that Musk is a windbag who nobody should believe. What a great victory.

Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX yesterday, alleging that Elon Musk's firm illegally took over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that the party-game company bought in 2017 in an attempt to stymie then-President Trump's attempt to build a wall.

"As part of CAH's 2017 holiday campaign, while Donald Trump was President, CAH created a supporter-funded campaign to take a stand against the building of a Border Wall," said the lawsuit filed in Cameron County District Court in Texas. Cards Against Humanity says it received $15 donations from 150,000 people and used part of that money to buy "a plot of vacant land in Cameron County based upon CAH's promise to 'make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for Trump to build his wall.'"

This really revolts me. Every day this guy gets richer and richer.

“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

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 bitch and moan about dumb shit like this is- wow... Not sure what I was expecting but wow. Im just Disappointed

Seriously. Just stop it already.
