Musk put a giant X sign on top of the building and it is incredibly brightly flashing, even nights. Hope it gets down, this is stupid. Imagine someone gets a seizure of it or crashes car because it blinded the person.

    @Corkyskog Isn’t this in his right to decide who can enter the building? I don’t know how the rights are there, but at least here in Germany I can even ask the police to go out of my building.

      Businesses don’t have those rights… Well I guess in theory, seems like if no one is actually enforcing things… now they do.

        @Corkyskog Hmm here in Germany any business can ask me to leave the building, otherwise they call the police. It’s called the “The domiciliary rights” (used a translator to translate “Das Hausrecht”, so not sure if that is the correct word).

          It’s not about a business restricting people, it’s about them restricting local officials, inspectors, etc.

          Some of these officials have just as much authority as the police.

          It would be like if you opened up a store, then a year later you sold the store and they started selling fireworks or kerosene by the bucket. Then when the fire inspector comes, you just lock the doors and say no, and just keep operating your business. Maybe you hide the kerosene and let them come in 3 weeks later, maybe you just never let them in.

          Could you do that in Germany? Because this is essentially akin to that, X could be cooking up pounds of Fentanyl in the basement and no one would be the wiser… hyperbole I know… but you get my point

            @Corkyskog Disclaimer: Maybe I’m misinformed, so don’t quote me on this. I had a little coffee-cookies-shop (or whatever its called). As far as I know, I could even ask the police or fire inspector to go out of the building, as part of my rights. Unless they have written permission. But I was never in such a situation. Maybe I’m wrong here.
