Does anyone has a logical explanation of why Elon is supporting Trump? Why is he going to this length, alienate many of his supporters by supporting an political party. What's is the end goal, since nothing makes sense right now.

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 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.
