Fuck everything about these tunnels.

• He proposed them to stop the city from implementing a subway system (fuck that shit).
• He first proposed them as being effectively a subway/hyperloop but then stopped when that cost too much money
• He then turned them into just underground private roadways accessible only to teslas.

Fuck that shit. The problem the city was trying to solve wasn't "We need more highspeed roads" it's "We need to be able move more people". And musk torpedoed that with a pointless underground tunnel.

Subways would have been way cheaper to operate, served more locations, and would not have been this stupid exclusive system for tesla owners to show off an LED light display.

The agency ultimately fined Boring more than $112,000 over eight violations it deemed "serious." The company is, as Musk businesses are wont to do, contesting it.

We've gone from wrist slaps to someone blowing gently in your face.

"Fuck Elon Musk!"

"I would advise against that. His tunnel has been found to have skin-burning chemical sludge in it. Good way to lose your penis."

Can we revoke his government contracts now?

I say we block off the tunnels but seal him inside like the Minotaur in the Labyrinth

God I hate Elon Musk. What a fucking twat.

Really taking that saturday morning cartoon super villain act to a new level.

I like My Chemical Romance, but I might have to give Skin Burning Chemical Sludge a listen!

Another Elon promise to make investment money, but nowhere near promised delivery.

Grifters gonna grift.

Maybe he should just buy a different company and pretend it's all him.

the chemical sludge was filled not only with the commonplace byproducts of sand, silt, and water, but also accelerants used to set the grout to build the tunnels.

Why would a grout accelerant burn people?

Oh we’re good at digging tunnels. No one bothered to mention human safety though. That’s a different skill set we haven’t come close to mastering.

Did the tunnel go through a buried toxic waste dump?

@blakestacey

And the Vegas boondoggle isn’t great either.

Elon thought of that and installed air filters in the Tesla's. No challenge too difficult for this man.

(Hope the doors are mounted properly)

This is the best summary I could come up with:

As Bloomberg reports, the Boring Company's scarce output — which thus far amounts only to driving Teslas around a few miles of neon-lit tunnel underneath Sin City as they ferry convention attendees at no more than 40 miles per hour — has also come with a massive buildup of waste, the consistency of a milkshake, that's said to burn the skin of anyone who comes in contact with it.

In interviews with the news source, Boring Company workers who declined to give their names on the record for fear of retribution said that in some parts of Musk's Vegas tunnel system, the sludge would sometimes be up to two feet high.

At one of the dig sites, which sits underneath the Encore Las Vegas hotel, the chemical sludge was filled not only with the commonplace byproducts of sand, silt, and water, but also accelerants used to set the grout to build the tunnels.

The state OSHA opened its own investigation into the outrageous safety hazards said to be present in the Boring Company tunnels, and as Bloomberg learned from documents it accessed via a Freedom of Information Act request, some workers were scarred permanently from their accelerant burns.

As Boring employees told OSHA, for instance, an intern almost got crushed by some two-ton concrete bins last summer when they collapsed because its metal brackets had become overloaded with the stuff.

"Nevada OSHA has failed to establish that the alleged violations occurred," a Boring Company attorney wrote in a November 21 letter, which Bloomberg viewed via its FOIA request.
