I learned from The Monkey Wrench Gang that some well placed karo syrup tends to make diesel engines not run so well.

Elon is using fema emergency generators to power some of his data centres and the nearby towns reek of gas, and the residents are developing asthma as a result. Not to mention insane light pollution, noise pollution, the residents have lost all water pressure, and their electricity bills have skyrocketed.
