SpaceX repeatedly polluted waters in Texas this year, regulators found

Elon Musk’s SpaceX violated environmental regulations in releasing pollutants into or nearby bodies of water in Texas, a state environmental agency said in a notice last week.
The report from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) came five months after the Environmental Protection Agency also notified SpaceX that it had violated the Clean Water Act.
The violations could threaten SpaceX’s ambitions to increase Startship launches from its Starbase facility in South Texas.

And that's why they want to get rid of the pesky regulators!
- it's sad that buying off the goverment is seen as less expensive than not fucking up the environment.
  
  It's sad that, in many cases it's literally less expensive than not fucking up the environment.

Can we revoke his government contracts now?
- SpaceX needs to be property of the US government. He shouldn't be allowed to control it whatsoever.
  
  Nationalize SpaceX!
- Sure, but not for this reason. CNBC goofed and made this article based on a typo. The regulators didn't find any such thing.

It is possible that this entire article was based on two typos in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality report.

Yeah, no shit. Samsung too, yet nobody does anything about it.
