Musk put a giant X sign on top of the building and it is incredibly brightly flashing, even nights. Hope it gets down, this is stupid. Imagine someone gets a seizure of it or crashes car because it blinded the person.

I want to say "No one should have enough money to be able to endlessly be sued and to drag the court cases on until the victim runs out of money" but the real issue is "justice" systems relying on who has the most money as a deciding factor in who "wins."

Motherfucker shouldn't have any special privilege whatsoever.

Apparently city workers investigating were already barred twice from entering. Yet if I was holed up in my apartment refusing to leave after not paying rent, you can bet your ass they would send out tons of jackbooted thugs from the local Police Department to kick down the fucking door and break my legs for thinking I could do that.

So sick of being alive in this shithole fucking country that lets idiot manchildren do what the fuck ever because money. What a fucking farce this life is.

If we're gonna have the jackbooted thugs (which seems to be a given at this point) the least we can do is start using them against the billionaires.

He did have to take it down. City shut it down after lots of complaints.

@Krakova Good news for the people in that area!

Tbh I wish we would just stop talking about this guy.

The only way for that to happen is for him to shut up and stop doing shit. Good or bad. Recently it's only been bad and the dude has gone off the rails so I don't see him going away any time soon. trump is another one I wish would disappear but they're both raging narcissists so they'll never fully shut the fuck up and go away.

idk, I always though this simple trick would work, not only with Elon but with all the horrible people

I, too, wish he would die.

Everything Musk does seems to be carefully and meticulously crafted to be the biggest asshole alive.

The world would be a net better place if he didn’t exist.

Musk has so much money. He will get away with an insane amount. I don't see that X sign going anywhere.

[–] st3ph3n@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

They took it down today

How fast is it flashing? Unless it's flashing more than 5 times per second I doubt there is a meaningful seizure risk.

I don't see how a sign on top of a building would cause a car crash.

I agree the light pollution is annoying, but hyperbole about its effects isn't helpful.

See after the first cut, maybe 10 seconds in. It actually is flashing

[–] UnhappyCamper@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Holy shit, that's not even in good taste.

Musk should've paid more for the RGB version.
