Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Didn’t Ask Homeowners Before Tunneling Under Them

Only those in wealthy neighborhoods had the resources to stave off Elon’s tunnel.

Elon Musk hates traffic. He hates it so much that he founded the Boring Company to dig underground passageways you can travel through to avoid it.

In Hawthorne, Los Angeles, Musk’s Boring Company has been hard at work digging a tunnel 40 feet underground. And, perhaps because Hawthorne is a low-income part of Los Angeles County, The Atlantic reports that the Boring Company has been able to do so without involving or even officially informing the local community.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Property owners have rights to that area beneath their property as well. Anyone who wants to can sink a shaft to the tunnel and claim their space....

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It doesn't sound like they tunneled under anyone's property.

According to The Boring Company website, the Hawthorne tunnel "leaves SpaceX property (parking lot east of Crenshaw Boulevard and south of 120th Street), turns west under 120th Street, and remains under 120th Street for up to 2-miles.

Just last month, The Boring Company received approval from the Hawthorne City Council to build an entrance to the Hawthorne tunnel from the garage of a residential building nearby. At the same time, the company also received approval to dig a short addition to the existing tunnel onto another piece of property that it had purchased nearby, where The Boring Company could extract its boring machine.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Not that it relates but they fracked the shit under my property as I didn't own the mineral rights.
