Nope.

Yep.


Prove it.


For many heavies, min clean speed on takeoff is often over 250 knots and
they have permission to exceed 250 every time they need to.

Yes, but that's done in accordance with the regulation, not under a
waiver from it.

Nope


Yup:


§ 91.117 Aircraft speed.

(a) Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may
operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL at an indicated airspeed of
more than 250 knots (288 m.p.h.).

(b) Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may
operate an aircraft at or below 2,500 feet above the surface within 4
nautical miles of the primary airport of a Class C or Class D airspace
area at an indicated airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph.). This
paragraph (b) does not apply to any operations within a Class B
airspace area. Such operations shall comply with paragraph (a) of this
section.

(c) No person may operate an aircraft in the airspace underlying a
Class B airspace area designated for an airport or in a VFR corridor
designated through such a Class B airspace area, at an indicated
airspeed of more than 200 knots (230 mph).

(d) If the minimum safe airspeed for any particular operation is
greater than the maximum speed prescribed in this section, the
aircraft may be operated at that minimum speed.
