Tornado Alley (PROG)

A boring report which isn't:

"The Boring Company was founded in 2016 and allegedly sprang from Musk’s desire to create a transportation solution that could allow drivers to avoid traffic jams. The firm has announced many projects over the years, many of which .. https://fortune.com/2023/11/20/elon-musk-boring-company-las-vegas-tunnels-former-employee-interviews/ .. have failed to come to fruition. Currently, the company is working on a new tunnel system under Las Vegas, which it calls the “Vegas Loop.” A recent ProPublica investigation showed that the Vegas venture, which is being privately funded by Musk, is proceeding without much of the regulatory oversight that a project of such a size and scope would traditionally have. The company also recently announced plans to develop a 10-mile tunnel in Dubai.

Musk’s prominence in the Trump administration is well-known and, everywhere you look, the billionaire appears to be benefiting from his government ties. A recent report from the Washington Post showed that the White House has been bullying tariffed countries to adopt services from the billionaire’s satellite internet company, Starlink. Starlink has seen other nebulous and problematic pacts with the U.S. government, including at the Federal Aviation Administration and in the White House. SpaceX also seems to have a variety of potential conflicts of interest, thanks to DOGE’s interactions with NASA. Another recent report also shows that the billionaire’s companies may have saved nearly $2.37 billion from federal fines and penalties that were active under Biden but have since been “neutralized” in the Trump era."
