Then show me a pattern of flouting regulations (which I can easily believe he has). His terrible views on unrelated issues are irrelevant.

What evidence is there of Musk's competency? Actual testimony that he has provided input that has led to revenue (or some more indirect form of success)? We can all hold and spend money; I'll admit his purchase of SpaceX was intelligent. But outside of that one decision, where is his supposed genius?

This is being needlessly pedantic. Disdain for the rights of other people does not start and end at literal written regulations.

And yeah, on some level it's not strictly relevant to the exact legal question being discussed, but part of the purpose of an article is to give you reasons to give a shit about what's being reported.

		> but part of the purpose of an article is to give you reasons to give a shit about what's being reported. And this is where the article is trying to bias the readers. As I said elsewhere: If this article was "Elon Musk is a shitty guy, and look at all the shitty stuff he does", I'd have no objection to any of this. Present all the examples, make the case, and let the reader decide. But showing someone violating the law, and then pointing out possible other unrelated violations, you're trying to bias the reader. If this were on trial and I were on the jury, and the prosecutor used such tactics, I'd be biased against the prosecution. There's a very good reason defense attorneys get judges to rule that such stuff can not be presented to the jurors.

The things you're calling irrelevant actually flout a number of regulations in various jurisdictions, if your read news about xAI you should be familiar with the examples.

Elon (or Grok) espousing racist views is not flouting data center related regulations. His business practices are.

you don’t think “Creating widespread non-consensual nude images of primarily women and children“ is illegal somewhere/anywhere?
