Ah yes, Elon Musk, who’s famed for the quality of his tunnels
Remember the trapped miner incident where he called someone a pedo
I think that was a trapped minor incident. The trapped miner incident happened around the same time, but didn’t involve Elon.
Could be neat if Detective Miller engages arthropod-robot form to offer people a ride down said tunnel, all the while reminding riders to check doors and corners.
Can we also have a tunnel dug to the moon?
If that can keep Elon Musk busy, I’m all for it.
It will involve corruption and graft of your taxpayer money, tho
So business as usual then
Its probably a standard Musk project. Show futuristic marketing pictures/videos of round pod-style duturistic vehicles to billionaire oligarchs and clueless politicians with a buzzword salad, until the hype brings in investors. Interest in his companies goes up, the imaginary price of the company goes up, his imaginary gold pile gets bigger.
Then pocket the money and fail miserably delivering even a fraction of the promised things.
The tunnel in Las Vegas, Hyperloop, Cybertruck, Robotaxi (still in progress afaik) Tiny House, the electric freight truck (I don’t remember its name), the various Mars projects just to name a few.
Personally? By hand? Please?
All this does, is convince me that Putin is a moron, too.
Sounds like it would make Alaska a lot easier for Russia to annex one day…
Sounds like it’d be really easy to drown a whole invasion force really quick.
He needs to build a tunnel to life in prison
Truer words have never been spoken.
That will be great when the first earthquake undoes the tunnel
secret invasion route
Honestly, I welcome them putting their army underground in an extremely obvious tunnel, it’s perfectly safe and they should definitely try this
Given the distance required, what kind of economic payoff could be possible from such an expensive project? It’s not like overland would be a cheaper transport option than Pacific shipping routes or anything. It’s not just the Bering Strait being the problem with connecting the two after all, but the fact that there’s nothing in NE Siberia or NW Alaska to bother connecting together. Are we making it for the polar bears maybe? Or are people going to drive the thousands of miles from Juneau to Vladivostok to sightsee?
this is to make the soviet land invasion easier….
Honestly a tunnel to northern Alaska would be an amazing trap for invading armies. There’s just miles of rugged mountains before you even find a road. Then you get to deal with Canada…
oh no, maybe they’ll sick their moose’s on them!
The Soviets had no intention to invade the united states (though they did want us to have a communist revolution, but like that’s just part of communism). This is all capitalist Russia
Ok Bering Strait, so only geopolitically, geologically, and financially insane.
Like I kinda see a world where this is a good idea. If ww2 had sparked a long brotherhood between our nations and with europe a high speed rail across the tundras might be a good lower carbon alternative to flying and the Bering Strait is the most land based path between Eurasia and the Americas. Personally I’m not certain a tunnel is better than a bridge for this, but a few days train ride from cascadia to Moscow or Beijing would have plenty of takers if everyone was chill and could take a high speed train ride from Moscow to Madrid (and major cities in between) and from Beijing to Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul, Bangkok, etc. It would leave flying as really only necessary for Australia and island nations like Japan.
That’s however not the world we live in, and Americans aren’t clamoring to go to Russia or trade with them
That heil Hitler was wild lol.
