Hemmer, who has flown drones over Musk’s house looking for ordinance violations
Wait. If you can fly a drone over Musk's house, you could definitely kill him. I assumed his security would shoot down any drones flying overhead.

Texas is well fucked, but pretty sure discharging a firearm in city limits is something they get after people for there. further, firing upon an aerial vehicle while aloft is also a federal offense even if it is over private property, because the exclusive use of private property does not extend above a certain range into the air.
apparently it's not just a fine, either, it's multiple years in prison (Title 18 US Code 32 of the 1984 Aircraft Sabotage Act).
and yeah, he's a billionaire, but one couldn't be sure it wouldn't be recording directly to some other device and be used in evidence, making it open and shut in whoever pulled the trigger.
a lot of the rules around drones are hilarious and crazy. like yeah, you can get in trouble for spying on someone with a drone, but if they try to jam or knock the drone out of the air above a certain height, they are fucked.
I remember the good old days when Yosemite Sam could shoot a bottle out of the sky with a revolver
Woke has gone mad
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
the one good guntuber wanted to test shotgun loads vs drones but apparently that's a big FAA no-no even if it's your drone.
For Hemmer, the billionaire’s proximity may come at the steepest price. Per the Times, Musk’s security team once reported Hemmer to police, claiming he was naked in the street. Hemmer, who has flown drones over Musk’s house looking for ordinance violations, countered he was on his own property in his underwear.
Weird things happening on Stratford Reserve Place

(I was gonna put a Dale Gribble emote here but apparently we don't have any??)
One of this site's greatest injustices.
Critical support to the HOA president in his efforts against 
I think his neighbors are so rich they don't have an HOA
the $6 million property [...] is one of four homes on the leafy street
His neighbors consist of three people. 
Why does someone as rich and paranoid as Musk even live in a neighborhood? Surely he can just build some compound out in the middle of nowhere and fly back and forth to wherever he needs to be
He might feel safer around people.
Sure - Elon's neighbors will hate him but he doesn't care. In fact - he might like it. And I think he might feel safer. In the tv series Barry they attack a very isolated mansion with an RPG or something like it.
god dammit my watch queue is already too long
The series has one of my favorite tv/movie scenes. It's amazing. All I'll say is that it's the "used car dealership" scene and please don't google it. Even a one sentence explanation will ruin the magic.
My favorite is the scene where the sniper keeps missing and the target doesn't realize right away he's being shot at. They almost break character several times because they were trying so hard not to laugh.
He probably doesn't want the location of his secret mountain fortress revealed to the plebs
Good thing too he's gonna be spending a lot of time there now that the NYT leaked his address lol
I hope he dies there falling down some stairs and because he's such an outcast, nobody finds him for decades
What a horrible thing to wish for! You shouldn't wish for him to die from that!
You should wish for him to settle broken and in agony at the bottom of the stairs and then die from starvation.
Or he's recovered but quadriplegic and he neuralinks himself and dies in agony from the implant electrifying his brain stem
C'mon, give nature a chance to get in a kick or two. How about horrible infection in the brain?
Periodic reminder that all these rich suburbs are predicated on abundant fossil fuels for heating and cooling, running electricity and water to them is often financially unsustainable, they're car-dependent due to being miles and miles away from business and entertainment districts, and to top it all off, there are just a few choke points to enter their sprawling neighborhoods. A regular Texas mishap (2 inches of snow, a brownout, a car accident in a certain place, or a culvert collapsing) could render these entire tracts entirely unliveable.
Weird I was always sold this fantasy of these billionaires living in frugal smol homes and shit 
Man, if I lived near his house, I'd dump all my garbage outside his front gate every week, instead of putting it in my own bin, on my own curb.
