• The Vegas Loop: Elon Musk’s Boring Company is constructing a planned 68-mile tunnel system beneath Las Vegas where drivers will ferry passengers around the urban core in Teslas.
  • Less Regulation: Despite its size, the project, because it’s privately funded, has not gone through the vetting typical of public transit systems, including lengthy governmental studies.
  • Musk’s Worldview: Musk says regulation often stymies innovation, a view that now has added significance given his new role advising President-elect Donald Trump on government efficiency.

      It honestly seems like he’s just making private tunnels for himself.

        Billionaires playing real world Minecraft and ignoring consequences sounds like 2025.

          Oh yeah, this is basically like an undergroud Minecart tunnel like in minecraft, but worse since Minecarts run on rails, while the Muskrat tunnels have cars in them. Trains FTW.

            Of course Elmo designed it with his stupid Tesla cars in mind.
