I so little trust the safety of any Musk project that I am basically a no on visiting Las Vegas now because as far as I am concerned the whole city could collapse at any moment

Reposted from ProPublica

#ICYMI: In building a 68-mile tunnel under Las Vegas, Elon Musk’s Boring Company has skirted building, environmental and labor regulations, according to records obtained by ProPublica and City Cast Las Vegas.

Lived and worked there 2 years long ago. Couldn’t happen to a nicer place

fascismwontwin.bsky.social•61 days ago

Aw hell, watch the entire thing collapse into a giant muskrat special sinkhole. Christ on a bike he's a fucking piece of racist garbage and a menace to the entire world.

hfyou.bsky.social•61 days ago

That's quite dangerous without the proper geological surveys.

You're not wrong to worry about collapse.

overtheshit82.bsky.social•61 days ago

Why are we building a tunnel in Vegas?

fauxrrari1.bsky.social•61 days ago

there should be a notice board that lists where he/his companies are doing... ANYthing.... so sane people can avoid them.

cskarnulis.bsky.social•61 days ago

😳😳 Regulations…smegulations, blah, blee, blah, blue

flyby9.bsky.social•61 days ago

How can a tunnel work in all the heat and dry earth?🤔

heavyoil.bsky.social•61 days ago

These are the same tactics Donald Trump exhibited in New York years ago, no?

celeste6677.bsky.social•61 days ago

You know elon bribed las vegad with ten cybertrucks

beavbee.bsky.social•61 days ago

We all know he cuts corners.

vantazach.bsky.social•61 days ago

There's also ten of these stupid "police cars" in LV now, thanks to an anonymous donor.

I wouldn't be getting into a plane either!!!

veracitas.bsky.social•61 days ago

Getting on a plane is also no sure thing nowadays. Another reason to avoid.

wileynann.bsky.social•61 days ago

We're hoping to go to Europe next fall. I'm thinking we should drive from NC to Canada and fly out of there.

veracitas.bsky.social•61 days ago

Good idea. Safe travels.

foxford.bsky.social•61 days ago

Considering what happens to his rockets and cars, I’d say this is “concerning”. 😳

pfiore8.bsky.social•61 days ago

it's a problem. i don't want Las Vegas to crumble from Musk's tunneling. and yet... I kinda do.

i mean this seriously... real moral and ethical dilemmas with this kind of thinking. i don't like that i even consider it.

it goes to that person who said: i speak up so they don't change me.

shriketron.bsky.social•61 days ago

To be fair, he has good engineers and C-suite underneath trying their best and generally do stable work, per industry performance. As long as GodEmpressM is not nearby to throw wrenches with ridiculous projections or pivots.

As to whether Las Vegas projects are safe, definitely wait that out.

angryblueman.bsky.social•61 days ago

Jesus, we have building codes for a reason.

Building codes and safety standards are all written in blood.

Here’s Vegas soon

This is a particularly creative Onion article, right?

ammtuesday.bsky.social•61 days ago

Why?

jfreedgo.bsky.social•61 days ago

Somehow Biden or DEI will be responsible for Musk's corner cutting.

smoogley21.bsky.social•61 days ago

They could've spent that money on trains. Such a waste.

Boycott the rich companies and people! Remind them they got that way from middle class Americans & poor buying their products.

paulaa99.bsky.social•61 days ago

So far the only one benefiting from DOGE & rich companies/people. Boycott the rich companies and people! Remind them they got that way from middle class Americans & poor buying their products.

dtyvoll.bsky.social•61 days ago

Staying in Vegas in April. Definitely want a map of that tunnel prior.

genxlioness.bsky.social•61 days ago

When it does they will blame the homeless in the storm drains vs the illegal work that’s been done.

kenp1212.bsky.social•61 days ago

Cut corners? Do half assed quality work? Sounds like Trump.

infinitedetritus.bsky.social•61 days ago

Gee what could go wrong? Well, open your favorite little AI “best friend who knows everything” and type in “What are some man made disasters that happened before government regulation” and prepare to be appalled.

ademainalors.bsky.social•61 days ago

Elon vs Tunnel Girl, who is safer

norcallisa.bsky.social•61 days ago

Why is a 68 mile tunnel NEEDED under LV? Seems like it would only be good for Ocean’s Eleven type casino heists.

cpetersen-cs.bsky.social•61 days ago

You're braver than I am if you're willing to get on a plane to get there right now!

lojkoj.bsky.social•61 days ago

They did it with trolleys in NJ 1897

Do they have earthquakes in Vegas??

englehart-cc.bsky.social•61 days ago

If they don't already, they might soon.

whoudi.bsky.social•61 days ago

Me too. I also sold my car last year and gave up driving with the recent influx of Teslas into the US I no longer felt safe sharing public roads with them.

kathnwy.bsky.social•61 days ago

Musk is a cartoonish evil villain and yet we have to deal with this bs, I feel like I am in a Batman movie but there’s no Batman

kathnwy.bsky.social•61 days ago

wtf!

burnterra.bsky.social•61 days ago

I get the idea of running electric cars in a tunnel is cheaper because of ventilation
My worry would be a EV fire 🔥 in a tunnel

massdisillusion.bsky.social•61 days ago

maybe he is a genius.

projectspacetime.bsky.social•61 days ago

The abandoned tunnel can be used by citizens later on as a shelter once the nukes begin to rain down.

nerdbro3000.bsky.social•61 days ago

I know Vegas is for gambling but not with your LIFE!

mara-myselfish.bsky.social•61 days ago

We had a Tesla. Every door handle broke at some point— the driver’s door handle twice. The massive screen in the center console slowly detached, and maybe a month before we sold it— the compartment under the screen started leaking extremely sticky glue. Tl;Dr : Teslas are modern jalopies

valleyboy77.bsky.social•61 days ago

And somebody bought it!!!??????

sheepoverboard.bsky.social•61 days ago

You might say the Tesla is a modern-day Chevy Corvair, and the Cybertruck is today's Ford Edsel 😶

zombiekat.bsky.social•61 days ago

I'm all good cuz I don't plan to get on a plane in Trumps America so I definitely won't be going there!

I guess it's a pro that there isn't much ground water to be hit there - that would make the mess even greater.

ladycross.bsky.social•61 days ago

Funny that Leon has a company named Boring. I believe most of Leon's actions are triggered by boredom.

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•61 days ago

Out: 'I have a bridge to sell you.'

In: 'I have a tunnel to sell you.'

frankedson24.bsky.social•61 days ago

Why? How is this allowed? Why is Las Vegas allowing this?

culturedropout.bsky.social•61 days ago

If the city drops into the tunnels and crushes a bunch of Teslas, it's two birds with one stone as far as I'm concerned.

lildaddy143.bsky.social•61 days ago

I can hear it now: "That tunnel collapse was a deep-state plot to make Musk look bad!"

gregaden.bsky.social•61 days ago

Viva, Lost Vegas!

gogoboots.bsky.social•61 days ago

Another place for the derelicts to puke, piss, and sell sex. Thanks Elon!

maryleem.bsky.social•61 days ago

And what about the one in LA?

hjklovesanimals.bsky.social•61 days ago

Omg

audivita.bsky.social•61 days ago

So he builds like donald

leorap.bsky.social•61 days ago

Planes crashing
His cars blow up or crash
His Rockets blow up
His Neurolink Chips break and cause infections

Dozens of investigations suspended because he fired and dismantled the investigators

Now he wants tunnels under Las Vegas- ludicrous

spider247.bsky.social•61 days ago

Simpsons already predicted it.

4legsrgood.bsky.social•61 days ago

That would be a fitting end to that city. And yeah, it probably could collapse any minute.

ANYWAY, why the fuck was he tunneling under Las Vegas?

kakehres.bsky.social•61 days ago

The climax scene in the movie Paint Your Wagon comes to mind.

lmc514.bsky.social•61 days ago

If they lay tracks, somebody check Ft. Knox. Seriously. Somebody check it.

greenmamalama.bsky.social•61 days ago

And where does one suppose the TAXPAYERS $$$ was skimmed off too?
Rockets 🚀 don’t explode 💥for no reason

lavidalodi.bsky.social•61 days ago

This has the makings of a disaster movie

skully17.bsky.social•61 days ago

I certainly won’t be flying in America any time soon either.

robotblue.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yup I said this months ago. It is just a matter of time before Las Vegas blows up ( along Musks fault line ) just like all his other project blowup. Plan accordingly.

lookforsun.bsky.social•61 days ago

I heard a story about situations similar to this in another country, and sadly what was expected happened and many lost their lives.

rootdenied.libcraft.com•61 days ago

The outcome that will be most hilarious is when asshole Vegas billionaires like Wynn, Adelson, etc sue the shit out of Boring Co & Musk for damage to property.

annieopopoagie.bsky.social•61 days ago

There’s already a fault line running up the Strip.

blueistheonlyway.bsky.social•61 days ago

Does he have to ruin EVERYTHING!

juliabricklin.com•61 days ago

Why the fuck is he digging miles of tunnels under the Strip???
