ELON Musk announced that he is building out his Las Vegas Loop project just days after X users criticized the Tesla CEO’s underground tunnels.
Musk, 52, has major expansion plans for his Tesla underground tunnel project, the Vegas Loop.
Boring Company’s affiliate, Object Dash bought 1.8 acres of land for $7.2 million, according to The Street.
The land is located on Paradise Road across University Center Drive from Thomas & Mack Center near the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus.
The land is tied to the planned University Center Loop that will connect the area near the University of Nevada to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The loop is said to reduce a 45-minute cross-campus walk to nearly two minutes.
The Tesla tunnels also provide a route between the hotel casino on the Strip and convention center exhibit halls.
Just days before the announcement of the expansion, X users took to the social media site to express their dislike toward the Vegas Loop.
“I live in Vegas and this is one of the biggest Tourist attractions in Sin CIty history!!
“Just kidding. It’s a huge joke here with the locals. Even our MonoRail laughs at it,” one user shared.
“Looks like a s**t version of a train,” another user stated.
One user pointed out malfunctions that could happen in the tunnels, stating: “Imagine if one car breaks down and is immobile, nobody able to pass.”
“What if someone crashes or breaks down in the loop?” Another user echoed.
However, not everyone was against the Vegas Loop.
Multiple people expressed their excitement for the innovation and expansion with one user writing: “The future is here! Elon is unstoppable.”
“Electrifying the underground journey!” another user said.
“Nice, the Vegas Loop is such a cool thing for the US,” a third user added.
The U.S. Sun previously reported that Musk’s Boring Company plans to roll out an underground public transportation system in Miami, Florida.
In 2022, the company submitted paperwork to build a 6.2-mile-long tunnel in Miami, according to an exclusive Business Insider report.
“We have a lot of traffic congestion and this would be a way of alleviating a great deal of that traffic,” North Miami Beach commissioner Michael Joseph told Insider.
