I live in the city Elon Musk built his SpaceX spaceport. Brownsville, Texas. It is a border town with majority of the population Mexican and Latino. With a significant amount of the population immigrants who crossed the border over for a chance at a better life. And as a Mexican and local, I can tell you things here are much worse than it seems.
The debris of his spaceships have landed on land that is considered a wildlife reserve for endangered-species.
Its home to an extremely rare beetle (the Boca Chica Flea Beetle.) known for its golden brown hue. This beetle is classed as a āSpecies of Greatest Conservation Needā.
And a little known ant species that hasnāt even been given a scientific name yet! (Its only been found in one other place in texas and Nicaragua.)
Oh but thatās not the end of it!
Heās been buying off local politicians and judges, bribing them with free teslas and campaign donations. Thatās how heās managed to get away with the mess heās caused so far.
But, he fucked up. Because the locals here were furious with how heās treating the environment and the news stations caught wind of it. And to save face, donated 30 million to the city.
Heās also been buying off properties here and after his tweets asking people to move here its obvious prices are going to skyrocket(heāll make lots of money). But this in turn with push locals out and gentrify everything. And because weāre all Latino and non-white, and most immigrants no one will care!
All of this for the sake of āinterplanetary explorationā and living in other planets!
I donāt want other planets!
This isnāt āan insignificant piece of landā! This is my home!
