“The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy. No matter how bad the service is at your DMV”

“Just received verbal govt approval for The Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop. NY-DC in 29 mins.”
“This false nomenclature of “researcher” and “engineer”, which is a thinly-masked way of describing a two-tier engineering system, is being deleted from @xAI today. There are only engineers. Researcher is a relic term from academia. [@ag_i_2211] we at @xai are looking for researchers and engineers for scaling up our rl environments with user feedback and preference in the loop. apply here (or drop me a dm): https://x.com/i/jobs/1948556500206845952”
“Turns out joking about being a “rock” star because of digging tunnels (through, uh, rock — hello??) is deeply underappreciated”
“Hyperloop pod race happening this weekend at SpaceX HQ (near LAX). We built a ~mile long vacuum tube on our campus big enough to fit people.”

“@flcnhvy @boringcompany Fallout-themed opening party for Vegas Loop happening as soon as allowed!”
“That special hat delivery will take place deep within the real, but fictional (of course), tunnel we are building under LA while you drive the giant machine blindfolded. This will actually happen.”
“To preserve the transcendent majesty & specialness of The Boring Company cap, we are capping cap orders at 50,000 caps. Almost there ... https://t.co/YqjEQAfy3u https://www.boringcompany.com/hat/”

“@teslaownersSV @boringcompany Tunnels will solve. Already happening with @boringcompany in Vegas.”
“@robertsepehr @teslaownersSV Yes, but they are not to blame for San Francisco. Fundamentally, states and cities must occasionally vote for the other party or you have a one party system. SF is what happens when one party has control for several decades – no feedback loop for correction, because they never…”
“@ejohnson99 City of Chicago already approached us about doing a high speed tunnel from O'Hare to downtown. They've been great.”

“@LABJnews The Boring Company is in Hawthorne and has already approved the permit”
“@quayran Opposite is true: you can have 100’s of layers of tunnels, but only one layer on surface (to first approximation), therefore trains should be on surface, cars below”
“@RenataKonkoly @bipulh Aiming for 10km with lots of turns to better approximate a real-world tunnel”

“Blooper reel must be amazing https://t.co/Z1m3yhyvrQ”
“Try our underground tunnels in Vegas. Way better than being stuck in surface traffic! [@boringcompany] Westgate Station is opening this Saturday! Thanks to @WestgateVegas for being a great partner. )”
“The Boring Company connects another hotel in Vegas! Within a few years, you will be able to get to all major destinations in the city super fast with electric cars in tunnels. No need to imagine, you can try it today between Resorts World and the Convention Center!”
“They’re building the Hyperloop! Good for them. We should do it in America. [@Rainmaker1973] China is testing a vacuum high-speed train that can travel over 1,000 km/h. This ultra-fast vacuum tube magnetic levitation system could reduce the travel time between Shanghai and Hangzhou (distance: 200 km) to just 9 minutes.”

“True. Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way. Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars. [@naval] There is unlimited demand for intelligence.”
“BTC (Bitcoin) is an anagram of TBC(The Boring Company) What a coincidence!”
“The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth [@HansMahncke] If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.”
“This is how the scam works [@MatrixMysteries] “They never removed dead people from Social Security because those identities kept other benefit payments flowing, and the second you mark them dead, ALL the money shuts off.” Elon Musk says it’s a rigged system — a loophole draining hundreds of billions from taxpayers.”
