‘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, I just read this crazy article about Elon Musk and his Boring Company wanting to build a tunnel system beneath Las Vegas. Former employees spilled the tea, saying they were basically dancing with death while working there. It’s wild!

Basically, those ex-employees were terrified for their lives because of the dangerous working conditions in the tunnels. Musk was all about speed and cutting corners, which is a big yikes when you’re underground working with heavy machinery. The employees even said they were encouraged to ignore safety protocols to get the job done faster.

I can’t even imagine being in that situation, feeling like your life is on the line every day at work. It just goes to show that sometimes, pushing the boundaries in the name of innovation can have some serious consequences.

In the end, it’s important to prioritize safety above all else, even if it means things take a little longer or cost a bit more. We can’t be flirting with death just to get a tunnel built faster. Safety first, y’all!
