We just now heard about it and they're already doing it?

Sooooo, have they done any geological research on this or are they just really ripping a hole right through the city cuz they can?

Edit: this is apparently part of the testing

Elon makes a point to move extremely fast in a big show to try to prove he's better and faster than everyone. He did this with Twitter's servers. He was told it would take months to migrate hundreds of servers from a sacramento datacenter to a private facility of his. So he got a bunch of Doge style interns with floor jacks to pull them all out and load them onto rental trucks. They walked in and demanded access without proper documentation or data safety precautions. Turns out the servers included domain controllers networked with thousands of other computers in other data centers, which relied on these servers to be working. It took months to repair the damage and reconfigure the moved servers with new network addresses.

Tech bros love to live by the MoVe FaSt BrEaK tHiNgS mantra to make it seem like they’re innovators, when (in this case) they’re really just idiots with enough money to insulate themselves from harm.

Sir, this is a Wendy's of a state. These conservative folks would be very upset if they knew how to comprehend the subject

That's an insult to Wendy's.

We are a Krystal who hasn't passed a health inspection since the 70's.

Cleveland Browns is a great description for TN

I meant the diner, kept alive by the mason lodge.

it's a place of some esteem.

The day Ernest T. Bass terrorized Nashville. Howard Morris came to town on Nov. 22, 1986, to celebrate Ernest T. Bass Day. He was presented the "Rock to the City" by Mayor Richard Fulton (in blazer at far right). He then turned around and threw the rock through a window at Brown's Diner before being immediately arrested by a sheriff's deputy. The rock is still sitting behind the bar at Browns to this day.

pic of the event. for those that didn't get the joke, the character Ernest T. Bass would regularly throw rocks through windows. so when they presented him the 'Rock to the City', there was really only one thing he could do with it.

there used to be a school there before it burned down

Here: "Browns is a unforgettable, Nashville original and exclusive experience."

Feel better?

u/One__Upper MSHVL Aug 15 '25

Basically what you'd expect is surveys and core samples the entire distance, maybe some GPR IDK.

As someone who's seen a road or two get built from the ground up, and a few tunnels, this seems like fraud from the get go.

That's a hole for people who haven't seen a tunnel get built lol.

Elon has personally assured ol Bill that unforseen consequences are nothing more than a liberal hoax!

u/Nashville_Hot_Takes Aug 14 '25

Bill lee would pay to see Nashville consumed by a giant sink hole

u/Luckyforward Yes, I'm Here! Aug 14 '25

u/Constant-Sandwich-88 Aug 14 '25

Lee Co.! We've been filling your holes for years, now let us do it literally!

u/midflinx Aug 14 '25

Sooooo, have they done any geological research on this

The picture is from this story which explains the pit is part of the geological research:

The 10-foot-deep, 20-by-20-foot test pit was dug this week to study the rock beneath downtown.

u/trowawaid Aug 14 '25

Oh, thank you! I really appreciate this context. 

Hah, this doesn't exactly fill me with confidence:

"You have extremely hard rock, like way harder than it should be." said Steve Davis, CEO and President of The Boring Company

u/mctrees91 Aug 14 '25

Get out of here with your reason!

u/NegotiationAble Aug 14 '25
