      Wow. I’m not particularly sensitive, but that seems like the right amount of very bright strobe that gives me headaches in concerts, especially at night in the dark. That’s very much the level of trying to find out a way to get to the roof to unplug it.

        I’m hoping you mean the city shooting it down, as in saying nope to it lol. Any responsible gun owner would ideally realize how terrible of an idea it would be to pop rounds at it, in a city center, with buildings behind it, knowing a good percentage of those shots will miss and go flying beyond it.

        Odds are, the city will have something to say about it, and knowing Elon, he didn’t pull a permit so it’s a matter of time. That thing is an eye sore and a hazard.

        Purely because it’s in CA. Even if you can get your hands on a gun you’ve only got 5 shots before you have to reload.

          Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?

          Gun Simps: “You can’t have gun control because people don’t follow the law and will get them anyway.”

          Also Gun Simps: “Nobody has guns in California because it’s against the law.”

          Pick one way to be wrong, at least.

      It is. And it was done without a permit, so the city might fine him over it too. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-san-francisco-building-x-elon-musk-4e0ae2a3b1b838b744bb2dc494f5b23c

    It’s amazing how countless people have labeled Elon a shit-posting edgelord, and yet, he keeps trying so damn hard to tell the world what we all already know.

    We get it, dude. Now shut the fuck up and do a days worth of work for once in your life. I think we’re all quite tired of billionaire’s at this point.
