From the video, it looks like a small enough wedding that it was not a wild party, but large enough there was a coordinating team who did not clean up: https://twitter.com/christinaqi/status/1719988127048352182

Yeah that looks like a small wedding to me? The story here just seems to be that they didn't clean up properly? Not sure why the news story seems to be claiming they misrepresented the size, they just had a catered dinner party it seems and didn't clean up (which is bad).

They… destroyed vegetation! The horror!

Gotta love Twitter outrage culture.

In the desert if you destroy vegetation it may take years to recover.

It's not the specific case here that I find a problem, rather the compounding effect of all of us destroying a bit of vegetation until the planet is paved in asphalt and trash

They lied on a legal document to obtain a permit. They wrecked protected land.

Cause there wasn't a white tent?

Not sure if he specifically appointed people to trash the place, it’s just he trusted the organizers to clean it up after and did not follow up to see if it was cleaned, no one really would after a wedding to check if the venue was cleaned up, kind of understandable

Seems like they probably paid somebody to clean up and that somebody failed to do so.

Going after the people’s who wedding it was is just sport it seems like.

I have worked on crews to do cleanup before. Sometimes you get idiot employees who don’t really want to work and end up causing more problems.

But to think “yes these rich people came where specifically to trash the place” seems insane.

Does this kind of petty tabloid reporting belong on HN?

No. Do the needful.

What disgusting people.

Given the company it would be more surprising if they weren't.
