Summary
Elon Musk’s Boring Company is rapidly expanding the “Vegas Loop,” a 68-mile underground Tesla-based transit system approved with minimal public input and regulatory oversight.
Backed by the Las Vegas tourism authority, the project bypasses federal environmental reviews and standard public transit scrutiny.
Despite safety, labor, and environmental violations, Boring faces modest fines and continues construction.
Critics, including former Mayor Carolyn Goodman, highlight concerns over safety, accessibility, and untested technology, but local officials and businesses support the project, viewing it as a vital traffic solution.
The Loop may set a precedent for deregulated infrastructure projects.
ah, yes, dipshit manchild reinventing the subway. I’d almost forgotten about that.
Someone really needs to show him public transit sometime. Then again, if it keeps him busy, perhaps we should just let him. I would rather his attention be focused on making a shittier version of a subway than on trying to fuck up Europe too.
I have news for you: he not “busy” with anything past the idea phase. How can you tell? You don’t see news pieces about Boring Company workers being effectively forced into slave labor a la Twitter post-takeover and Tesla during the Model 3 roll-out. He expects everything to run like a startup because it’s the only thing he’s ever remotely “managed” in his life.
yeah but… he’s not doing shit. he uses his only power, money, to delegate. the trouble is that as the world’s richest dickhead, he has a lot of power to delegate
I’m not sure he’ll even be able to see the public transit from the private jet he flies in all the time.
