Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

Tesla spills bright green chemical into Palo Alto creek

Cleanup efforts continue after Tesla dumped a bright green chemical into a storm drain last week from its Palo Alto offices, officials say.

@ampersine @Sorvall "could"
Must be nice to be rich.

@Dofain @ampersine Well any fine at worst will be a few million, and we saw recently what a joke that was with Apple.

The only real difference is that most of Musks operations are total money pits.
