It is unclear whether the deal would require SpaceX to take steps to protect wildlife or habitats or any cultural resources linked to the land it receives from the government.

    What a loaded headline

    In return, SpaceX would give the government around 692 acres of property it has purchased elsewhere in Cameron County, according to the documents. Some of these tracts would be added to the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, about 20 miles up the coast.

    I’m not saying this is a good trade, but the quantity and that some will be added to another refuge was well down the page.

    It’s a trade, not giving. (Even if really bad)

    Better headline: Trump may trade 775 acres of wildlife refuge for 692 acres of less sensitive land in unfair trade. (Or in damaging trade)

    Nah, it’s pretty clear.

    Read “trump”, “give”, and “federal wildlife refuge” and briefly thought he was actually doing something positive for once, but of course not. Guess i’m the chump
