Fun fact, they were going to build one in the US crossing the borders of LA, TX, AR. They even dug out the damn hole, but they shit canned the whole project so now we're just left with a random giant circular hole underground.

Edited AK to AR. That would have been a bit excessive.

I think I saw this in an anime once. Something to do with a big Philosopher Stone or something.

There's an excellent documentation by BobbyBroccoli about that.

Not quite circular, they only got 26% of the tunnel dug. Still, 23 km is quite a long tunnel to leave sitting empty

Don't tell Elon, it'll be filled with his shitty cars by the end of the week.

Alas, I don't think he will much care to build a subway-but-shitty between one farm outside Waxahachie, TX, to another farm outside of Waxahachie, TX. Not enough density of mouthbreathing Elon stans there.

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought I was finished or near completion. Glad they decided to stop production when they did but sucks that we didn't get it.

Fill it with cheese. Make another cheese vault. We require the cheese. Government cheese. Cheese.

Moms for Liberty would be calling the police on it regularly.

Sounds very much like how I build my homes in Minecraft
