I can’t stand elon musk’s simp army like okay maybe they could idk pay for a concerted clean up effort with those billions of dollars they have? You can’t just destroy this planet to get to other ones lol. source
I live in the city Elon Musk built his SpaceX spaceport. Brownsville, Texas. It is a border town with majority of the population Mexican and Latino. With a significant amount of the population immigrants who crossed the border over for a chance at a better life. And as a Mexican and local, I can tell you things here are much worse than it seems.
The debris of his spaceships have landed on land that is considered a wildlife reserve for endangered-species.
Its home to an extremely rare beetle (the Boca Chica Flea Beetle.) known for its golden brown hue. This beetle is classed as a ‘Species of Greatest Conservation Need’.
And a little known ant species that hasn’t even been given a scientific name yet! (Its only been found in one other place in texas and Nicaragua.)
Oh but that’s not the end of it!
He’s been buying off local politicians and judges, bribing them with free teslas and campaign donations. That’s how he’s managed to get away with the mess he’s caused so far.
But, he fucked up. Because the locals here were furious with how he’s treating the environment and the news stations caught wind of it. And to save face, donated 30 million to the city.
He’s also been buying off properties here and after his tweets asking people to move here its obvious prices are going to skyrocket(he’ll make lots of money). But this in turn with push locals out and gentrify everything. And because we’re all Latino and non-white, and most immigrants no one will care!
All of this for the sake of ‘interplanetary exploration’ and living in other planets!
I don’t want other planets!
This isn’t “an insignificant piece of land”! This is my home!
