At that price point the company might as well just agree to pay it on the regular and go about its business as usual.
Must be virtually free compared to doing things the right way.
I know, right? Coulda been $420, or $42069. It’s like they’re not even trying!
What a fucking joke. That's less effort to them than digging in my couch for coins
That’s how regulation in the US works. Just look at how FINRA punishes the elite in the finance sector; fines (rare) that are a minuscule percentage of the profit made.
Simply the cost of doin biz, and it’s both disgusting and harmful to our nation but this is an oligarchy first and foremost sadly
It's one fine Michael, what could it cost - $10?
lmao
If Elon isn't first in line once Neuralink bribes their way into approval for their torture chips, I think we'll all know why.
Similarly, have you noticed Elon hasn't taken a single ride on a SpaceX rocket even though he says he wants to go to Mars?
Not to defend the muskrat, but they’ve said they’re focusing on things like spinal injuries and ALS at first, so he definitely won’t be first in line.
From that standpoint, I get it. If I was paralyzed, I’m not sure what kinds of crazy gambles I’d make to get my body back.
Now, the Elon fanboys that just wanna dive headfirst into the upcoming dystopia… I don’t get that, and I think sci-fi done fucked up by making cyberpunk dystopias look cool.
I’m learning more and more every day that the rules don’t matter.
To be fair it's pretty easy to get that fine, not that it's happened to me but I do have to keep track of some totes of waste water at work and the process is a bit of a pain to label your totes correctly, have the right overpack and all that, finding the proper people to take it to the proper place and if you forget to do your 8 hour class every year on time then you get to do the 24 hour class
That's good context, just send like every time this company comes up in the news it feels like amateur hour where nobody bothered to learn the rules of his people with experience.
Oh, but they do! Just for you and me tho ... not the rich.
Elon Musk’s brain implant company
We’re in the wrong timeline
Ahahahahahaaha!

(Yes, they are serious.)
To be fair, the workers were probably used to calling it Twitterylene.
And nobody is surprised. It’s the same story as the monkeys that were improperly obtained and essentially experimented on to death.
Fucking disgusting
Someone needs to kick this trash bag off of the planet.
Let he who is without DOT violations cast the first stone…
