Elon Musk’s Boring Company Ghosts Cities Across America. Snake oil salesman. 😂 ONTARIO, Calif.—The unsolicited proposal from Elon Musk’s tunnel-building venture arrived in January 2020. To the local transportation authority, it felt like finding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket. Officials had started planning for a street-level rail connection between booming Ontario International Airport and a commuter train station 4 miles away, with an estimated cost north of $1 billion. For just $45 million, Mr. Musk’s Boring Co. offered to instead build an underground tunnel through which travelers could zip back and forth in autonomous electric vehicles. https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-boring-company-tunnel-traffic-11669658396
Oink! the fed bots are out in full propagandic force.
I thought you are the bot
I could be.
More vaporware from the 🤡
This is likely an unprofitable business.
If you're not aggresive and are afraid to fail, then difficult to make it really big ... He's failed on probably 8/10 bets and the remaining 2 were out of of the world in business sense .. mocking someone for being wrong(but really tries) only feeds own ego and conviction.. Not Elon fan boy, but have seen similar template to mock famous personalities..
The problem is not that he took bets. He took bets against public interest. At a time when California proposed a high speed rail project, dude said a hyperloop is more efficient, bla bla bla. Similarly with his boring company, public funds would have been utilized for a much better purpose, instead wasted on a shitty tunnel that's a fire hazard. Dude should have stayed in cars and rockets and no one would have cared, other than getting public funds for his own benefit in those cases, but still they are not officially allocated for public although they should have been , but in boring and hyperloop, he fucked over money that was intented for the public. So much lost progress, millions would have benefitted from a high speed rail
1. If musk knew probability of failure is much higher and still pitched for public funds for financial gain - It is musk problem 2. If musk believed in the idea and pitched for it but that turned out to be flop then Calif govt problem. They should know what project to sanction and what not based on public interest and not celebrity status. We cannot ask ppl from pitching their idea for what they think is right... This is problem is lot of countries where expectation from govt is so low that they're not held accountable for decisions
Should have suffixed company name with Beta.
Elon's just living out the Simpson's episode with the monorail
Came to say it.
