I'm no fan of Musk, but you've got to admit it was a clever way to achieve the goal. SemiAnalysis don't do fanboy articles - their research is pretty in-depth. So they are stating it as they see it.
The problem ordinary people all over the world have is that governments are allowing this to happen. Maybe if there were stricter regulation it will prevent players such as Musk to come up with such "innovations".
You'd have to be a little thick yourself to think that's clever. If you think that's clever, let me recommend you sell your car for extra fuel money, chop off your legs for rapid weight loss, and perhaps abuse methamphetamine to not have to sleep, boosting productivity 3 fold. Perhaps you'd like to add robbing banks as a faster way to get your cash out.
"Getting a permit for 15 turbines after having illegally used 35 turbines that then poisoned the air for the residences around the turbines" is a clever way to achieve the goal? I wouldn't call doing a blatant illegal action "clever", but rather sociopathic.
