Shut off their water lines, cut off their power, cancel trash collection, and close their roads. Failure to abide by the laws regulating infrastructure means they don't deserve infrastructure.

And the fines will be????
Last month, the Department of Justice sided with SpaceX in the NAACP’s lawsuit, saying the unpermitted turbines were a matter of “national, economic, and energy security.”
This says it all
Of course, the only people who have to make sacrifices for national, economic, and energy security are poor people
Breaking the law is a matter of national security. So is raping children and covering it up. So much security!
Bold move to put your “national, economic, and energy security” in the hands of a drug-addled former illegal immigrant.
With SpaceX we actually have a company that has a real incentive to wreck the planet and that should have everyone concerned.
I get what you're saying, but it's still harder to live in space or on Mars than to try to fix Earth. What I'm saying is that SpaceX would have to be run by a complete idiot for them to think they have an incentive to ruin the planet...... Wait.... It is run by a complete idiot.

Hush, unbeliever. We just gotta invest more in the technologies that let us escape from the consequences of our greed. Well, some of us. The most greedy, actually. The rest still get to bear the consequences, but they don't matter.
Point is: pour more money into training machines to imitate all the things we don't actually understand the complexity of, and surely we'll no longer need those people when we finally escape to a better future where our serfs don't need such petty things as rights and payment. And if you help us get that, you just might get a ride on our escape too!
(You won't, but I'm hoping you're gullible enough to fall for it.)
It is run by a complete idiot.
And enabled by other idiots. Musk doesn't exist in a vacuum.

All I'm hearing is "let's build the OceanSpaceGate station and fill it with all the billionaires" and I'm struggling to see a downside.
"Officer. I will not blow into that breathalyzer for another year!". Enforcement of the law works differently, depending on which end of the socio-economic scale you live on.
And when you're a star rich, they let you do it. You can do anything.
evidently you can grab children by the pussy and still become president.
Hell, if you're friends with him, you can apparently huck a baby in a lake
The company claims that it is allowed to operate the existing turbines without permits
xAI has been operating gas turbines that have the potential to emit more than 2,000 tons of smog-forming NOx per year.
the Department of Justice sided with SpaceX in the NAACP’s lawsuit, saying the unpermitted turbines were a matter of “national, economic, and energy security.”
just another case of "I'm rich, therefore, the law doesn't apply to me." And the 1000% corrupt DOJ turning around and being like "yeah, actually, that's true."
- Deny
- Delay <----------- We are here.
- Deceive
- Distract
And this is why they get rid of oversight. A Simple inspection of the plans or work to be done would have showed these turbines before they were ever built.
I doubt they’ll be removed.
Because the filthy rich can do literally anything they want, and there's no one waiting to stop them.
If learning that recently surprised you, you're not alone.
The only reason Madoff went to prison is because he stole from rich people.
why remove them at all? its not like they are getting any real consequences for anything they do
The obvious course of action in a sensible society would be to fine them 0.01$ on day one, 0.02$ on day 2, 0.04$ on day 3, then 0.08$ and so on. Until the turbines have been removed.
Everyone else: follows laws
Elon musk: hmm, that puts them at a disadvantage. Maybe next year.
