Elon Musk's Company Roasted After New Project Turned Out To Be A Short Tunnel With Fancy Lighting

Elon Musk's companies, SpaceX and Tesla, are well renowned for their innovations in environmentally friendly vehicles and in SpaceX's case long-term plans to migrate the human race to Mars.

But Musk, with his bizarre tweets and business plans (including one that basically turns a human colony on Mars into a debtor's prison) is not always the most popular person.


And for one of his most recent projects, he's getting roasted hardcore.

The invention, which looks like a segment of Disney's Test Track, amounts to little more than a brief tunnel with LED lights that change color.

In the video, Kylie Jenner can be heard saying "this is crazy!" as the car drives her through the invention, but Twitter can't help but both laugh and be perplexed at the same time.





The Boring Company, one of Musk's other business endeavors responsible for this project, constructed this tunnel for one mile under the Las Vegas strip.

It costs $5 to drive through the tunnel.

While some people can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of this promotion, others are citing safety concerns.




Musk claimed construction of such tunnels will cut driving times across the nation. In 2017, Musk bragged he'd received US government approval to construct a tunnel from New York City to Washington, DC which would supposedly cut driving time down to 30 minutes.

This project has yet to materialize.



The USA's dependence on cars has become apparent in its infrastructure projects throughout the years, though growing pressure mounts on the current federal government to invest more in public transit, such as high speed rail lines.

Maybe these LED tunnels will become subways of the future.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
