Not really. If he has permissions for a temporary install, it is above board. He just needs to get a permanent permit before moving to a long term generator instead of temporary fixes.

Should the permissions have been blocked? Now that's a diff question

    So you're just going to parrot Elon Musk's public statement about why he doesn't need permission? Get outta here!

    He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.

    Musk doesn't have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.
