#3There was an amazing YouTube poop format satire video with Musk saying: ~"There are no consequences. Life has no meaning."
I can no longer find it. If anyone else can, it might be nice to link here.

#5The Boring Company seems like a total nothingburger at this point. The Las Vegas Loop is not particularly impressive and it's taking a long time to expand it. Nothing about this feels revolutionary or even evolutionary. Just novelty.
The fact that Teslas can't navigate autonomously even in these controlled, enclosed environments is also quite embarrassing.

#6How is that only a $500,000 fine???
Stopping when inspectors are there only to restart once they leave is willful enough that you wonder why this doesn't go into criminal liability?

The part that shocks me is they were told to stop, pretended to stop, and then restarted again. I was under the impression that usually the system comes down quite hard on people who show that level of intentionality.

Maybe things find it so easy to get worse because so many people would rather virtue signal being above having an explicit stance than choose one that's unpopular or be accused of being partisan.

What do they do that is more impressive than routine tunnels built in cities for the last few decades (or even between different soverign countries under the sea!)?
