Everything Musk does is so hyped, and so fantastical, that most fail without anyone really noticing except those affected by his broken promises. It does not surprise me that he and Trump became fast friends - everything they touch, they destroy. Nashville is not paying for their tunnel? No oversight? They won't own their own highway? The city is selling its soul to the devil and they will figure that out when they spend the next five years being detoured from one street to the next as the boring company builds a piece of crap. Musk will fail and move on.

In ordinary times, thwarting U.S. military goals would be cause for instant treason charges.

Tennessee (Nashville district) House Representative Justin Jones(D) tried valiantly to attend the meeting about The Boring Company tunnel going under parts of his district. He had questions from his constituents, but he was not allowed into the meeting. Officials told him he was not on the list of invitees, and the were absolutely not going to let him in, but at the same time a couple of Republican Representatives arrived, were not on the list, but were allowed to enter without question. This was a very underhanded process for approval of this project by the state of Tennessee!

Starlink should be nationalized for security reasons. Battlefield foreign policy should not be in the hands of one man in the private sector.

Kudos to Doug Ford!

Musk's post sharing is disgusting but not surprising.

Kudos to PI for this excellent reporting.

A while back, I was on a phone bank supporting Susan Crawford; on one phone call, as soon as I announced myself as a Dem volunteer, a woman started screaming "Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole!"

Doesn't that just sum everything up?

Why would Musk fear nuclear war?

Doesn't he have enough luxury holes dug through Earth's surface to provide him the chance to release his genes and ONLY his genes....

500,000 years from now? Isn't that his clear goal?

Let's watch the calendar to see how long it will be before numerous Nashvillains are forever entombed in a collapsed Boring tunnel.

Not a fan of Muskrat. Not a fan of the Russian/Ukraine/USA/NATO/ EU waring in Eastern Ukraine. Ukraine is anti DEI and boy has that played a toll on all of us but mostly Ekainians and Russians. But boy are the militaristic industries making $$$$$

"The goal of the Nashville project is to ensure a "transit time of approximately 8 minutes, utilizing underground tunnels beneath state-owned roadways," according to the governor's office."

Roads in Tennessee start collapsing into the ground in 3...2...1...

Great post. We need to be aware of these facts, because they seem unbelievable.

Who dreamt that a white supremicist , ie racist misogynist would be a let to amass such wealth and in control of so many important companies and be part of a cabal of tech fascists that think they and not governments should rule, and they seem to be pulling it off,

Russia has already started a "major war". Those of us who would like to see Ukraine win must stop applying the double standard where, as Russia bombs civilians incessantly, Ukraine is denied effective offensive capabilites.
