Elon Musk's Texas ventures face pushback from locals over environmental concerns.

A farmer in Bastrop, Texas, where Elon Musk's Boring Company and SpaceX have built sites, has described the area as "the Wild West" due to the lack of zoning and rules. The Boring Company is facing criticism over its plans to dump treated wastewater in the Colorado River. The company has filed plans to discharge 142,500 gallons of treated wastewater in the river per day, but an environmental consultant representing Musk's companies said it was a short-term solution. The Boring Company and SpaceX do plan to eventually connect to the municipal wastewater system, but it would take around two years to build the connection.
