WHAT was that?!?
In a word I’m STUNNED. THAT was your story on Elon Musk?!? REALLY?? Slow news day?
That had to be the worst I’ve ever listened to from you folks, and I’ve listened to pretty much everything you’ve put out.
Why did you gloss over the story of the environmental bureaucratic nightmare question in California that’s begging? The increase in price was potential evidence, but that also was ignored.
Was the abandonment of the project because the Boring company didn’t do it’s due diligence beforehand? Who knows! Was the question even asked? Can’t tell you from what I listened to.
Now I’m stuck with understanding why Mr. Musk and company didn’t want to respond. And my understanding came from YOUR episode. Perhaps he suspected he wouldn’t get a fair shake? It’s hard not to see it that way now.
You folks can do better. Much better.
