    Is the Boring Company pranking us?

    No, the whole idea is just incredibly stupid but they want to make money. Investor money I guess, since the thing will never fucking work.

      It wasn’t about the money. It was to convince the state they don’t need to invest in public transportation by knowingly proposing an alternative that would never properly materialize.

      It was deliberately designed to prevent you from having nice things.

      California was this close to high speed rail from San Diego to San Francisco and I will never forget that Musk and the Boring Company are the reasons it didn’t happen
