And he talk about Cartel using tunnels for their crimes he's doing it to! I guess he's using the 8 mil a day he's scamming off of American taxpayers money through his fraudulent contracts scam!
And this is the guy that #ford wants to build a tunnel under the 401? Bad Idea #ontario bad idea!! #CANCELSTARLINK #CANCEL-ELON #CANCEL-FORD #onpoli #peipoli #cbc
As a LasVegan for 20 years, this Boring work is what my GC friends have been talking about for years. We all laughed. “He’ll never get approval, people will die”. Again, we laughed. Now, not so much.
Yeah, I’ve ridden in the short completed piece by the LVConvention Center. I did not understand until now after reading this article, the full extent of all of this.
That’s his MO. He stole environmentally sensitive, private land for his SpaceX launch pad. Because of Texas laws, the owner is not able to reclaim the property & can’t afford to sue Musk. He has disregarded FAA rules requiring him to prearrange launches, endangering commercial & military aircraft.
It feels like we’re watching the script to “Die Hard 6” unfold. South African terrorists tunnel beneath Las Vegas under the guise of corporate investment to rob all the casinos at once…..
As a liberal, I think it should cause some introspection that his biggest fan base until last year was west coast liberals. People thought that Leon is an engineering genius etc all the way up until he got really into politics in 2024.
He never was an engineer or genius. He's an economist.
He was never going to Mars. He was never creating "full self driving". He was never creating autonomous humanoid robots. He's just a hustler. All the Teslas I see around me in deep blue California are evidence of his hustling ability. Many were hustled.
Definitely cut him out of federal contracts - if you can. But remember.... Musk has been able to wreak such havoc is b/c Trump appointed him. President-ing is hard work & Trump is too lazy to actually do the work or take the heat for tough decisions. Reality is Trump is using Musk as a shield .
He's a serial liar, crook and scum bag just like trump. A rich greedy irresponsible bastard. America gave this immigrant asshole his wealth but we can take it away. STOP USING HIS PRODUCTS, DON'T BUY HIS STOCK, DONT BUY HIS TES-LEMONS, CLOSE YOUR X ACCT. If we giveth we can taketh away. LETS DO IT.
His chosen few will very quickly discover how much they need the rest of us. These fuckers don't do anything for themselves, they need someone else to do it all for them.
the Musk Administration publicly stated that Musk oversees DOGE as a special government employee - shareholders at each of his companies should sue to remove Musk as CEO and Board member, stop his $ & clawback his shares or at least put them in trust - all that’s needed is to own one share of stock
It’s pretty simple - to be paid full time from 4 or 5 companies but actually work full time as President is not much different than theft - so hopefully Blue states start issuing arrest warrants on behalf of shareholders in their states - mobsters got arrested for no show jobs why not Musk?
So you’re telling me that in this jurisdiction, there’s nothing that can be done to hold him to account? If he screwed all the laws clearly there are laws he’s broken. Either someone’s complicit or their coward. Because they surely don’t care about the law.
Nevada is funding everything Musks BC is doing. There is nobody to hold it to account because those with the power to act are turning a blind eye because they sanction this corner cutting, misplacing trust in Musk genius, certain these are all acceptable risks&any loss is just cost of doing business
Is it that it doesn’t exist the law to address it, or is it that the people who have the authority to prosecuted do not have the appetite to do so? If they don’t have the appetite, my question is always”why” teacher?
Is 100% a private company so not subject to some important federal & even state regulations. Capitalism - accelerated by immature techbro's - is imprinted with "Ask forgiveness, not permission" ethos. These facts do not excuse the cowardly, greedy "look the other way" attitude of elected officials.
That makes this 10xs more disgusting. Las Vegas is NOT private land, he should have to follow every government restriction. Just like his bff they're pushing to see how much they can get away with.
It's bad... but I thought that too..I suppose when there's so much rampant corruption in one Administration, you just think of the quickest way to get it to stop...smh
Skirting regulations and securing lucrative government contracts are only part of musks true agenda. I believe that, if trump were successful in usurping the constitution, Musk would go in for the kill, oust trump, and install himself as dictator. There is no honor among thieves.
Well researched article. I hope it all works out otherwise any disasters, collapsing buildings or water supply pollution will be difficult if near impossible to recover from.

So *that's* where Adolf Muskrat is building his Nest...
Has he decided to try to be "Randall Flagg", in *addition* to trying to be "Tony Stark" & "Lex Luthor"?? @stephenking.bsky.social
He never was an engineer or genius. He's an economist.
Fixed it for you #OxfordComma
