Elon Musks Boring Company verhängte eine Geldstrafe von fast 500.000 US-Dollar, nachdem sie Tunnelbohrflüssigkeiten in die Schächte von Las Vegas geschüttet hatte – und dann „die Einhaltung vortäuschte“ und wurde erneut dabei erwischt

Does this mean that Musk’s future robot would stop him from committing a crime?

The ones that scream the loudest are the biggest offenders.
Fine them a trillion dollars.
A whole 500k! That’s going to be hard for them to recover from.
The ultra-rich are above the law.
The solution is straightforward: The CEO should be charged with criminal contempt, and if found guilty, serve mandatory prison time.
Everything he touches turns to shit.
Wow a whole $500k? Musk spends more than that on election interference.
D.O.U.C.H.E.
I have dumped so much tunnel drilling fluid directly into Elon Musk‘s dads manholes… maybe they should fine me next
What a joke of a fine, our regulatory system is toothless.
That fine is soooo miniscule that they can continue doing this infraction again and again just for fun.
Half a million dollars is like a regular person being fined a nickel. He will not care at all. Keep digging Elon! No one will stop you.
I am too lazy to do the math, but relative to average individuals wealth i would guess that equates to less then a fine for littering.
Believe it or not, a new LV tunnel contract incoming! /s …… I hope
NO ONE should trusts a musk associated company….
By building a company that doesn’t give a shit about that. Musk just won himself a contract worth 20,000% of that. This fine is like dusting off a $100 bill, no measurable value lost, and you still have the $100.
Less than a a year has passed since musk GUTTED the EPA so he could not give a shit about polluting.
Ooooooh nooooooooo not a whole $500k!!!
The second time around, it should have been $500 million.
That’s actually cheaper than disposing of it properly.
Fines are just the price to do something for rich people.
So many people in here acting like Musk ordered this personally, and it shows none of you have ever worked in any sort construction/infrastructure project. This is the result of a shitty project manager combined with a foreman who gives absolutely no fucks. There’s plenty to criticize Musk over, but this ain’t it.
This is a tax. Taxes are cost of doing business and can be weathered. Fines are punitive. There is nothing that is punitive about this.
