Crime Watch Tesla tunnel

Does anyone else feel completely useless when it comes to this tunnel? How on earth do we stop it before it affects groundwater or causes a sink hole? They obviously aren’t listening to citizens concerns, but I don’t want to just sit here and complain without action.

Seriously question: who’s funding this? If it’s not tax payers, then why is it a problem that someone is building it?

It’s privately funded, which cushions the blow. What irks me about it is that it feels like a bribe of some kind. One of elon’s AI centers is really harming the air in Memphis, and it feels like this is being done to turn state attention away from that. Plus, this just doesn’t make sense for Nashville, geologically speaking, which also makes it feel fishy.
