The Boring Company has a long history of being used as a means of preventing rail from being built.

Don't let Musk or his companies anywhere near these projects. He and his team are experts at turning actual infrastructure into vaporware.

more of biden's infrastructure bill money to steal.. congressionally approved and allocated money. early site prep has already begun, even.

letting muskrat anywhere near this has great potential to really fuck-up the entire northeast corridor for a decade or two--or longer, for passengers and freight.

Expensive vaporware

Yeah, the Vegas loop, as I understand it to be built, would never be allowed by any sane or even rogue/mad civil engineer, and that's basically just a gussied up go-kart tunnel. No way in fuck they need to be allowed anywhere near rail infra.
