Elonâs $760M Tunnel To Nowhere: Texas Flood Frenzy
Before the 2024 election, Elon Musk decked out Donald Trumpâs campaign with $250 million, then honeymooned as head of the Department of Government Efficiencyâaka the bureaucracy-slasherâbefore a spicy Presidential breakup. Now, Musk and Congressman Wesley Hunt are pitching a $760 million Houston flood control plan featuring Boring Co.âs wonky skinny tunnels that even flood experts think might flop worse than a soggy taco. Meanwhile, Boringâs Las Vegas Loop project racked up $112,000 in fines for ankle-deep tunnel water and chemical burns, proving Musk really knows how to keep âem guessing with compliance! Houston's decision on this eco-adventure remains pending.

Elon-funded tunnels designed by Boring Co. might flood Houston harder than actual rain. Because why solve flooding with science when youâve got skinny tunnels and political pals to cut environmental corners?
When your flood control tunnels are skinnier than your regulatory respect, you know the partyâs undergroundâliterally. Houston, get ready for a shallow dip in disaster management.
Elon Musk spends millions on Trump, then fundraises for tunnels that engineers say wonât hold water. Houstonâs getting innovative flood control or next-level water park? Same difference.
