Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Elon Musk is “one of the only people in the world” who could build Houston’s much-needed tunnel system for flood water mitigation.

But his company, Boring, has never completed a major public project in Texas.

@ProPublica just hand the guy a shovel, then. It would probably be good for all of us if he spent some time fulfilling the male urge to dig a hole.

@ProPublica lol two of the most corrupt people out there. This is a wealth extraction system waiting to happen. Houston (sanctuary city) residents will be taxed heavily and musk will never actually finish anything.

Musk is one of the few people that could end hunger. Like every other billionaire they just hoard more and find ways to take more and more.

@ProPublica ugh the idea that we'd have to go through this all over again just makes me want to cry. It's so stupid.

Three days ago I was watching someone who posted a new video less than 3 weeks old about the Vegas Tunnel and what it looks like now (as well as a retrospective on what they were promised it would look like by now). It's not worth throwing away money for this and he's not paying for htis out of pocket. He'll be demanding SO MUCH in kickbacks.

@ProPublica Tunnels are underground. They are prone to flooding.

They've never completed a major project at all.
