The boring company has been a scam too. It's a vehicle to kill real public transportation projects. The Vegas tunnel could've been a subway, but instead it's a low capacity vehicle tunnel that's barely a viable alternative to walking.

The way it works is this: they underbid on projects that would reduce car dependency, the government goes for the lower priced solution, Elon builds a tiny tunnel that has a fraction of the capacity of a tunnel that would fit a train. Nobody uses the new tunnel because it's not real public transport and the car dependency status quo is maintained.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
