Now, Elon Musk’s tunneling company is quietly being pitched for the job despite the fact it builds much smaller structures than previous county proposals. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investi...

Maybe they'll just cave in rather than explode.

Just like in Las Vegas.

Someone else has the idea first Elon sticks his name on it and gets a government contract Sounds familiar

Elon could buy the contract for bragging rights

The last tunnel he made doesn't work, isn't used, and leaks an as yet unidentified caustic sludge that melts your flesh.

Or we could *not* give the Nazi more money.

1st, I'd never allow a Musk company to bore holes in anything, anywhere. 2nd, flood tunnels in & immediately around Houston? Are they nuts I that's what they're thinking. Houston is a swamp with some buildings on it. They'd have to drill tunnels far north of the city.

Here's in Chicago, we did something similar. But since Chicago is also a wetlands with buildings on top of it, they drilled the tunnels west of the city, away from the lake. Even so, they still ran into problems related to water infiltrating into the tunnels as they constructed.

My bet is that Musk-rat & his people haven't got clue as to what they'd be dealing with. A Starship fiasco coming to Houston. Only this time the tunnels will be imploding rather than the rockets exploding.

What a waste of public funds

Why is he still allowed to do business with the US?

Given that his company builds cars that you can't get out of while they're burning you alive and space rockets that explode all over the place doesn't seem like a good idea to have him boring tunnels under a city.

So flood tunnels in an area where the water table is barely below the surface? You’re just putting an underground bayou in place.

Sounds about right for Texas I hope it happens 🤞

Yep, you're correct. As I said in my post, Houston is a swamp with a bunch of building on it.

Right, and if a Hurricane is coming in from the gulf, just like the bayous, all the water just gets pushed back into the city.

MAGAts yes, Texans no. Texas is at least a purple state, if not blue, but we are dealing with voter suppression tactics and gerrymandering.
