Musk's argument is that basically no one is doing the R&D to apply modern technology to tunneling. Which I don't know about that when it comes to tunneling but I think Musk proved this to be true with electric cars.
Also I'm sure the Boring Company is hiring people with experience in tunneling since that's what every company does. Hires people with experience in the field.
- mozumder 9y agoI'm not sure why you thought no one was doing EV research when GM actually produced and sold the EV1 before Tesla?
- cracell 9y agoEV1 ones stopped being made in 1999. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1
- hinkley 9y agoThe EV1 was either a setup or government Pork. You put all the troublemakers on a project and then kill it and get the stink of failure all over them. And you get money from the government at the same time. The only real benefit that came from the EV1 was the Toyota Prius. Because Toyota thought the US was serious about The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles and they built the Prius to compete. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership_for_a_New_Generation_of_Vehicles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership_for_a_New_Genera... Didn’t know at the time they would be the only ones to show up...
- greglindahl 9y agoYes, after the EV1 was an unexpected smash hit in the marketplace, GM went on to be the #1 vendor of electric cars for the next decade! Musk completely ignored that.
