“Environmental regulations are, in my view, largely terrible,” he said at an event with the libertarian Cato Institute last year. “You have to get permission in advance, as opposed to, say, paying a penalty if you do something wrong, which I think would be much more effective.”
I guess he thinks he just said something clever there. What a stupid bitch. Nothing against female dogs per se.
BTW, reminds me of his AI factory, running on a battery of portable generators, polluting the environment for miles. Even by lax US law it’s highly illegal. Yet he gets away with it once again. No, bitch really doesn’t cut it.
If I was starting a new project with a possible environmental impact I’d absolutely want to have it cleared in advance rather than risk some huge fine randomly coming up at some point in the future.
That’s because you’re still poor enough to be acquainted with the idea of paying for things. When you’re rich enough, you just acquire things with the assumption that someone who works for you will do the nerdshit fix the numbers so people won’t bother you later by asking for more (or any) payment.

That’s the Silicon Valley strategy. Break the law then pay off politicians so that whatever you’ve been doing becomes the new legal framework.
It’s an OLD adage, “Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission” -Admiral Grace Hopper.
I know, I was paraphrasing 😜
Bruh, that was invented long ago. See: The Rockefellers, Ma Bell, Philip Morris, etc.
It’s just called “Fuck the Poor”
Break the law and pay less than it saved you IF you get caught and have to pay up.

“Alright, who do I pay?”

Who would judge that your company did something wrong, and against what standards, in a system with no regulators or regulations?
