What are they even working on? How is there still money for this nothingburger.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Working on distracting from actual high speed rail projects.

Should have asked the Swiss, they probably know how to drill holes in rocks. Don't need a startup for that...

We know how to drill holes in the US too. That's why Musk doesn't sell his tunnels to people who know what they are doing, but to morons on City Council who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Don't know their ass from a hole in the ground

Then what is Elon really selling them? Their own ass or a hole in the ground? 🤔

yeah, any european country near the alps can help - or ask someone with experience in building subways. no need for toxic sludge there.

Don't ask Sweden, Hallandsås tunnel (8.7km) took 23 years and a lot of dead cows to complete. Turned out that the sealant Rhoca-Gil wasn't compatible with livestock.

You are right. They know.
