I don’t know. As a shareholder it sounds like the dumbest move ever. In what universe would it make sense to have a fab so close to an appartment building and vent toxic gas. It’s a PR disaster waiting to happen. Whatever savings you make by avoiding regulation you pay back in fines and reputation damages.

What is it they saved here? Could they not fab this in a less populated area and just follow a few more regulations. We’re not talking about a company with razor thin margins. They spent outrageous amounts of money building the spaceship HQ.

I genuinely want to understand if this is stupidity or if there’s really a profit incentive that makes “fiduciary” sense.
