Who the hell is going to stop this? Musk needs to GTFO of the USA.

We are, all of us, together. Call your elected representatives, make a sign and stand up with your fellow patriots, use your wallet to object to their business practices, vote, help others being harmed by his destruction, go to town halls, school board meetings, or wherever people gather and make it known this must stop.

Off-topic, probably SPAM

Excellent investigating!

What about the gas utility? Thru the state's utility regulator is it possible to find what rules are being broken by the supplier? An amount of gas that huge is not likely to be business as usual. They are complicit. How many of their staff did Elon bribe?

If I never see a grown man waving a chain saw about again while baring his flabby belly & jumping up/down like a 5 year old on Christmas morning it will be too soon. He makes the orange grifter look like an amateur.

Imagine how he'll be when he's DonOLD's age! He'll also probably have a thousand children by then, too!

I think I read that he's actually aiming for 10,000 kids... are there even enough hand maidens??

Absolutely shameless and apparently unstoppable. There is a time to dump tea into the harbor and a time to pour tea into the turbines.

I live in Memphis. We have a scrappy but strong group called Protect Our Aquifer. It was founded before the Muskovites invaded. They know we have pristine water & want it. Support for POA is a strike against xAI.

The very wealthy do not need nearly as many regular folks to provide for their comforts as currently exist. Therefore they will continue to shorten life expectancy, disappear the most annoying and keep those that remain subservient and performing useful tasks for them. Those who think this is insane hyperbole probably were so surprised by Jan 6 that they still cannot see it for what it was.

Terrific reporting. This is an article everyone should read. Musk is OUT OF CONTROL. Chilling news. Wondering if that part of Texas gets tornadoes. Thank you.🙏

It's Tennessee, not Texas, but your point is the same. What would happen to all of this turbine equipment in a tornado?!

No one Musk wants to colonize Mars because he is rapidly ruining our planet. }:-[

Maybe we could gas his ass and he can reflect upon life with his last gasps. Poetic justice.

Check out the Times Radio interview with Kristina Balan, the Tesla engineer turned whistleblower about safety at Tesla - she knows first hand and says the man is "pure evil" and "enjoys hurting other people". He is a psychopath on drugs. I am sure he is doing all of this destruction and misery for pleasure, whether it brings him any money or not. Also, please correct your Watt conversion - 1 Gigawatt = 1000 Megawatt, not 1000 Watt.

But wait - is Musk’s Ai setup really monitoring federal employees communications for anti-Trump or anti-Musk remarks? That. is totally terrifying as well as endangering the health of so many.

Well, federal employees have all been informed from Day 1 that they must report any co-worker's negative comments against the regime, and given the technical skills the "other" president can easily contribute, it seems very possible....

Oops , thoughts and prayers Red State. I don’t think taxpayer resources should be used for states that actually voted for this.

Although sharing this bit of news on the Governors Facebook page and the “twitter” feed, can’t hurt ; )

Musk's MO is to go big and break what ever needs to be broken to get what he wants. It is a strategy of maximum waste, completely lacking in elegance, creativity or pursuit of excellence. It is the strategy that gave us the disfunctional abomination that is the tesla cyber truck. China has shown that high quality AI can be developed with less expensive and less energy intensive methods. Musk is not interested in that.

Seems to me that a lot of Blacks and other low-income people live in the Memphis area .... I wonder if that is one of the things that attracted Musk to the area: population with a relatively low propensity to effectively object.
