Not to be That Guy, but I put out the warning about this back in 2022. I only had docs then that showed part of the problem with PCE, far from the whole picture, but literally nobody reported on this. Also, these were PUBLIC DOCS POSTED ONLINE. Not exactly All The President's Men shit.

As someone who genetically already has a 30-50% chance of developing cancer and lives in this area, should I be buying bottled water? I know Benzene is specifically linked to my type of cancer so this is wildly concerning 💀

If we convince his cult that they need to drink that water to protect Elon, prove it's not contaminated, and thereby defeat the woke mind virus we could clean out like 90% of the blue checks on Twitter in a week.

Wonder if any of this goes back to NUMI or if it is all from Tesla (would not be surprised after the paint booth fiasco)
