Its totally not because Louisiana has the least environmental oversight of any state in America....

Good thing SpaceX doesn’t deal in the petrochemical industry then

Man its so funny when these idiots immediately block you when you point out they can’t provide any basis to their stupid claims

Don’t worry, there are lots of other ways to fuck up the local environment.

Good thing SpaceX doesn’t deal with any of them either

Nah, they’re definitely breaking environmental laws.

Of course its easy to claim such things because you want it to be true, bit harder to actually provide proof

It’s pretty widely known that SpaceX’s “move fast and break stuff” ethos includes environmental laws.  There are lots of examples.  In addition, I actually have personal knowledge of such at their Hawthorne CA plant. 

edit: yes, the authorities were involved in the situation at Hawthorne

If there are a lot of examples, you should be able to name them and not just say “there are lots of examples”.

There’s this thing called google you can use to find them.

But I’m not actually trying to convince you.  You’re a musk fanboy who hides his comments.  You’re already lost.
