‘We have consistently flirted with death’: Elon Musk wanted the Boring Co. to build a tunnel system below Las Vegas. Former employees say they feared for their lives while working there

So, there’s this crazy article about how Elon Musk wanted his Boring Company to build a tunnel system below Las Vegas, right? But here’s the kicker - former employees are saying they legit felt like they were flirting with death while working there. Wild, huh?

Basically, Musk wanted to create this underground transportation system in Sin City to beat the crazy traffic. But according to ex-employees, the working conditions were super dangerous. They were worried about collapses, lack of oxygen, and even being buried alive. Yikes.

I mean, I always thought working for Musk would be intense, but this takes it to a whole new level. It’s like a real-life thriller movie down there. And the fact that these employees felt their lives were at risk just to make Musk’s vision come true is pretty insane.

In the end, it just goes to show that sometimes innovation comes at a cost. But risking lives for progress? That’s a whole other level. Musk may be a visionary, but at what point do we draw the line between progress and safety? It’s definitely something to think about.
