Let's be honest Osha does not have a gun. They have a bubble wand at best.
And every dipshit in the country complains about them trying to stop this exact shit.
Near future tweet?... "I own three Teslas. I know from experience that if you keep your windows up everything is guaranteed safe. People don't have any idea how good Tesla filtration and ventilation systems are..." And the comment goes on for hundreds more words of nonsense.
How many Elon fan boys are real and how many are bots? We may never know
"I love tesla but it's uhh very very not cool that my legs rotted off below the knee from driving in their tunnel, hopefully Elon fires whoevers responsible"
What if we kissed 😳🙈 bathing in the flesh-melting ooze in the Musk tunnel?
I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful - These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it Like a daydream or a fever
KEEP YOUR ARMS AND LEGS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES
you have been warned
up to TWO FEET? where is this shit coming from? this reads like an SCP
According to the article, it's not the completed tunnels, but rather, the dig sites. It's mostly normal digging byproduducts (silt, rock dust, sand, water), but also chemicals for making/setting grout. All of that stuff is "normal", but the outrageously lax safety standards have let it build up rather than be dealt with.
"Elon Musk Tunnels Oozing with Skin-Burning Chemical Sludge" is a sensationalist clickbait take. "Elon Musk's Tunnels-In-Progress Full of Improperly Stored/Disposed-Of Dangerous Chemical Waste" wouldn't spark the imagination so hard.
the fact that it's "normal" due to corner-cutting would be really bad if we lived under an economic system that incentivizes corner-cutting
You just said literally the same fucking thing and think that's supposed to make it better?
...Fucking redditors man
No, it's not supposed to make it better. It's worse. "His tunnels are oozing with sludge" is mysterious, meant to draw readers in. The truth is, like every goddamn thing he's ever done, he's mismanaged it so hard and cut so many corners that he's caused yet another entirely predictable, entirely preventable industrial disaster.
I can hate Elon Musk and clickbait at the same time, mate.
Alright fair enough, it came across to me like trying to make a bad thing sound reasonable by making it sound mundane which is a common tactic of his supporters.
Sorry, did you think that was meant to be a defense of the man? Do you think his fanatics would ever describe him as "outrageously lax"? Read, mate, read.
It really doesn't read like a defense, not sure what these replies are on about
People here see a chance to try to crucify somebody they perceive as an imperfect leftist to show they're the one pure socialist and that takes precedence over reading comprehension.
He’s just trying to make Fallout New Vegas real because he loves video gaming like a boss
This was during construction only and it was only because of the caustic concrete mix.
I say as the psycho-reactive slime from the ghostbusters sequel slowly fills my tunnels.
Why do his fans not realize that he is very obviously trying to kill them with every single thing that he makes
Oh cool, I always wanted to drive through the real-world equivalent of the Star Lasso Experience.
Common sense tells me to stay out, but jrpgs tell me there's good loot if I defeat the sludge
I had to click through to the Bloomberg article just to confirm this wasn't satire.
I'm sure mixing this stuff with 1/2 ton lithium ion batteries in a tunnel underground is going to be a fantastic combination.
