Nice Tunnel Guy Rahm
- One disastrous tweet has finally revealed Elon Musk for what he is: a fraud.
Enraged that a British cave diver called his idea to rescue the Thai soccer team for what it was — “a p.r. stunt [with] absolutely no chance of working” — Musk took to Twitter and called him a “pedo.” Just like that, Tesla’s market value plummeted by $2 billion.
Musk has been in business since 2002. His stated goal is nothing short of transforming humanity through his products: his electric cars, space travel, and an underground high-speed Hyperloop system. He has yet to succeed at anything but somehow spins every failure into proof of imminent success. His only accomplishment has been this decades-long Jedi mind trick.
This is the type of ego maniacal madman Rahm thinks can dig a tunnel from downtown to O'Hare at no cost to taxpayers?
We're wondering if Rahm is even going to be around to shoulder the blame for this one.

This guy will have no money left if he gets involved with Chicago politicians.
Musk was down to his last two million and not one Tesla car had been produced. Obama gave him 500 million. Watch "Revenge of the Electric Car".
He and rahm have built their careers on bullshitting sheep. Birds of a feather.
You can acheive as much with 11 billion dollars of Govt. handouts.
The modestly priced Tesla Model 3 that is supposed to be affordable for the masses at around $35,000 will cost you around $55 to $60,000 for one that works. Industry analysts are already telling consumers it's better to just buy the $70,000 model.
It is easy to take chances when you get 4.9 billion of our tax dollars. I would imagine that if Preston Tucker got the same consideration Tucker Motors would still be cranking out automobiles and we would never have had a Ford City Shopping Center.
Musk is a fraud, propped up by the government to implement their agenda, just like they do with Zuckerberg.
Funny, but people who are on welfare are seen as lazy, savages and less than human. This guy loves off government welfare in the billions, has yet to turn a profit but seen as a hero. Perception.
The Musk Mutt is a cunning creature.
It's cunning is to be found within it's cunning ability to connive public funds like the parasite it is, yet present itself as a source of brilliant illuminations lighting the way to..... The FUTURE!!!!
While, at all times, conducting the very Old School chicaneries of kickback graft, magically disappearing finances, funneled into the monetary version of a Cosmic Black Hole, and sequencial beggings for further public funds to, soon, very soon now, actually show a profit!!!!
Soooooo, no surprise mayor rimjob loves this creature, this Musk Mutt.
The O'Hare to Loop tunnel was so far fetched I don't know how anyone could believe it. Musk said he could do it in 3 years a distance of 17 miles. New York City completed a water tunnel in 2013 which took 40 years and that was 8 miles long. Musk said the skates (passenger cars) would be on a nonstop loop and would travel at a speed of 150 miles an hour every 30 seconds. How would you like to be in a vehicle knowing that the one behind you is doing 150 mph. What happens when you reach the station if the cars are on a non stop loop, are you ejected? And the tunnel company would pay for the entire project, not the taxpayers, right! Rahm knew this project was a bunch of baloney but he used it to fool the voters into believing he was an innovative leader who would transform Chicago into the future.
Rham... did he even offer to tesla solar roof your house? If Rham does not have tesla solar panels, well you know that guy is full of shit twice over. My neighbor just moved from New Mexico, and said out of the 4 years she lived there... she still got an electricity bill even with solar panels on her house
Just because Musk is bugnuts crazy, doesn't mean he can't actually build the tunnel.
While I think that adding an express tunnel to O'hare could be a good thing, have we not learned by now that privatizing public assets such as this in Chicago is a horrible idea. Remember the parking meters, the Skyway, or at the State level our tollways? There are many other examples going much further back into our city's history as well. Have we not learned that our local governance is too susceptible to corruption and mismanagement to allow politicians to sell off our assets.
MONORAIL!
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where the guy tricks them into a monorail. Well, sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail! What'd I say? Monorail!
Perhaps this visionary Elon Musk can bring his miracles to the West &. South sides and stop the violence...
And the vendors in the stations at either end will sell snake oil and other tonics....
This calls for radical action; is there any CPD pension money left that the city can "loan" Musk to help him build Rahm's tunnel?
Pension funds are not "taxpayer money" so Rahm could keep his promise
MuskRAT.
OT But how in the fuckity liberal fuck is this legal? https://wgntv.com/2018/07/22/chicago-mayoral-candidate-willie-wilson-hands-out-cash-to-potential-voters/
who cares if he has an ego? I mean seriously who gives a fuck?... of course he does
Some day Musk will have to deliver
The tunnel isn’t needed anyway. The el goes out there.
Elon Musk built his empire and his reputation on taxpayer subsidies. In plain English, that's corporate welfare.

I bet he can. But give me billions in taxpayers money and I can build it too.
And I've said it before: a man who insults a British
frogman on a mission of mercy is not a man at all:
just a jerk proficient in stagecraft to divert attention
away from his failing Model 3. 5,000 welds reduced
to 4,700; 3 days of employee training for newbies vs.
3 weeks in legacy auto. Selling flamethrowers. Before
GM got serious about fit & finish, it was well known not
to buy a vehicle made on a Monday or Friday. With Musk,
it boils down to everyday.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-shares-on-track-for-six-week-low-after-wsj-refund-report-2018-07-23
Shares of Tesla Inc. TSLA, -3.44% fell more than 5% in late morning trading Monday, putting them on track for their lowest close since June 5. The losses followed a report in The Wall Street Journal saying that Tesla had asked some suppliers for refunds in an effort to turn a profit. The shares traded as low as $292.86. Tesla shares have lost more than 4% so far this year, and more than 9% in the past 12 months, which contrasts with S&P 500 index's SPX, -0.07% gains of more than 4% for the year and 13% in the last 12 months......
Hmm, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Elon Musk both conspired to help each other's erosion of public relations in June 2018... each other pitched an idea to build a tunnel from O'hare airport to downtown Chicago funded by no other Elon Musk who is currently in a rut over the staggering losing value of TESLA shares Mayor Emanuel will team up with anyone and say anything to turn around their downward public relations popularity!!!!!!!
I rather rely on the CTA Blue Line than start a deep tunnel project to be built by another unreliable Elon Musk! and Comapany Mayor Rahn Emanuel!

School teachers called Albert Einstein "crazy". Albert Einstein was one of the smartest men in the world !!!!!!
Just remember, nobody would know who he is if there wasn't a Federal Tax (subsidy) break on electric cars. All his money has government fingerprints.

Yup. And despite what his critics say, his returnable rocket boosters do work. He's definitely moved the bar on that front. Musk's people are highly skilled. Arguments about 150 mph collisions without knowing the details of buffering systems are ignorant.
I have an even better idea, build an enormous subterranean tunnel/city which is naturally climate controlled. Fill it full of those tiny houses and provide free plumbing and showers. Allow the homeless to live humanely and not unsightly and dangerously under viaducts and exposed to our harsh weather. Allow those with skills like barbers or laundry services the first shot at homes. In addition reach out to SHAME Billionaire Philanthropists like Pritzker and Oprah to fund this and put their money where their mouth is. If you provide basic hygiene and clean clothing to homeless they blend in with the general population and are not humiliated or seen as outcasts. It would free up our hideous shelters which could be used to house those with serious mental health issues and receive the care they need and get them back in main stream society.
he already is ready to "tunnel" which from his record will be more destruction,and how much were given in campaign contributions to further destroy infrastructure here again?
Watch this "genius" you dig down watch the "leaning towers of pizzas" to rival the leaning tower of Pisa! Can you see how the "tilt a whirl" will be spinning!

A recent discussion about Musk on the business channel seemed to have a consensus opinion. This proposal is ludicrous beyond belief. Pricing estimates are ridiculous. Oh, and please Mr. Liberal tell us how Musk agreed to foot the bill. More Rahm fantasy, election crap that he hopes the liberals will eat up with a large spoon.
Over 40 years of Deep tunnel and it’s nowhere near finished and that’s just for stank water to pass through.
If there’s a Contract, a independent citypaid analysis study, an open invoice and no bid then Yes, we need infrastructure Chicago style.
Doesn’t matter who and how one digs a hole but paying for all the costs associated with the likely lies and screwups in never factored in the bid and leaves taxpayers on the hook as always.
Rahm has his select Sock puppet Alderthieve committee very eager to run that tunnel under their Wards...money-money-money.
Eloin can use his Tunnel-O-Matic but guess who’s cousin, nephew and aunties have trucks to move the dirt pile and who’s has the transfer lot to dump and then who has the final destination property all set to receive it.
Can Elon Muskrat finish the burrowing a tunnel for the no-too-sharp City sewer department engineers at the Metra tracks on Devon-Central-Lehigh or is Rahm dragging it out until after the election since he knows he’s not going to win the Ward anyway?
Besides LAZ making free money on those lost parking spots.
Don’t get me started on LAZ’s contract with the city that Rahm won’t challenge.
The airport is a bottomless pit of irresponsible spending and corruption. Why should this tunnel project be any different?

To build the tunnel
Or not to build the tunnel
That is the question
Whether 'tis knobler of the mind
To fall for another democratic graft scam
Or to smell the scent of feckless corruptions
And by so sniffing, still get screwed?
Ye be it known
Grant them power to tax
And tax they shall
They will tax to the max as the greedy sacks of democrat flacks they be
Elon = nolE
Musk = ksuM
Nole ksum = No let 'em consume my taxes!!!!!!
Hey, just because this post seems totally batshit craaaaaaaazy, doesn't mean it's point is not true.

Pay to play here what does it cost?:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-rahm-emanuel-top-donors-third-term-htmlstory.html
both are dickheads
The time has come to allow only property owners the right to vote. Too many leftist politicians are bribing the useless eater shitheads, and illegal aliens, all of whom have no skin in the game, with our tax dollars.
I'll call you out here, SCC. Elon Musk, despite his flaws has contributed more to human civilization than the sum of any elected pol. Are you familiar with SpaceX? Electric cars? This technology is absolutely yincredible and it wouldn't be possible without his ingenuity, perseverence and, yes, bravado.
And it begins...'a group of community activists plans to shut down a stretch of North Lake Shore Drive.....would take place on the first day of the four-day Lollapalooza festival.'
How about 'public employees' call off on that day?
Gerbil is another name for da mayor’s tunnel guy. Now pull my finger...
Both Rahm and Elon are frauds with dual citizenship. Both wouldn't be where they are without Obama. Both are in the process of bankrupting Chicago/Tesla
Musk has the worst track record. This tunnel will fail, just like Tesla. He's no genius
It's like that moment when you discover your barber
has put piss in the Vitalis bottle. You just can't trust
him anymore, and you have to face the facts.
The two things that Musk and Emanuel have is common is Pay Pal. Musk developed the service......after watching Emanuel's yearly solution to budget shortfalls. You know his message to the taxpayers of Chicago..PAY PAL!
For the most part I don't mind Elon Musk. PayPal is extremely useful, SpaceX is way better at NASA's mission than NASA itself and for less money, Tesla is dysfunctional but still probably a better deal than Washington's long-threatened urge to directly dictate how cars have to be made, and the Hyperloop proposal is...well, that one's pretty damn useless. It was useless 25 years ago when some fool was begging Tennessee to build one between Chattanooga and Atlanta too, and for the same reasons.
That being said, it's kind of a sad commentary on the situation that us dirty under-40 millennial douchebags find ourselves in when:
-The best role models the private sector has to offer are Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the now-deceased Steve Jobs
-The best role models the public sector has to offer are also Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the now-deceased Steve Jobs
-Whether Elon Musk is hero-worshipped a thousand-fold or hated as the devil incarnate seems to depend more on what he says on the Internet than how his companies and customers are doing
Here's the question:
Would you be satisfied with Musk performance record applied to your erection reliability?
That is how you evaluate investment.
shouldn't the taxpayers decide if this is done...WTF!
it's been kind of quite over at Devon-Central-Lehigh recently...as in, no work being done
Two corporate CEO’s who are both running their respective corporations as ponzi schemes pure and simple.
Regarding Elon Musk?
>Deep male voice in a golf-whisper<
"The password is:
CHARLATAN."
Regarding Rahm Emanuel's bro-mance with the
above CHARLATAN to build the world's most
expensive electric sewer to O'Hare at
taxpayer expense?
Birds of a feather...
Why is this magic looping tunnel train even necessary? Keep the fucking Blue Line in good shape like you're supposed to and Uber and taxis will do the rest. This is a manufactured crisis.
Offf Topic: Alderman Ricardo Munoz is retiring after 20 plus years at age 53, FOP can you please look into his retiree health care benefits, our members with the same age and years of service should at least expect the same benefits
7:35 pm great post on the tunnel. tunnel technology is mature and chicago union tradesman have set records for boring tunnels. we have all worked on the deep tunnel since 75 and its as legit as public works can be in this state. its not done yet because its not supposed to be done yet its a mammoth project.all tunnel equiptment is electric, nothing new there. if the ground is stable the actual boring is the easy part. you need drop shafts about every block thru its length. thats why the tunnels are under the rivers( public land ).old timers will remember mountains of dolomite along the expressways that follow rivers all thru the county. it took more than 20 years to move and use that stone. heres where the real graft kicks in as said by 7:35 pm. you will need thousands of trucks on the kennedy to haul all that stone on the kennedy. and lots to stage equip, concrete and rebar etc that go down as the rock comes up.tunnels have lots of shafts, more than likely the alder dorks will buy the lots and gulde the tunnels alignment under them.this is a subject of a book but short answer is no fukkin way is a guy with no underground experience gonna build a tunnel in an expensive congested city in three years. no way no how. somebodys gonna get fukked.......guess who. o/t loved the referance to ford city, played there as a kid when it was abandoned and spent my formative years in the mall before it was destroyed by people from outside the neighborhood. great memories, wish i owned a tucker now lol.

7/24/2018 01:12:00 AM?
Yes, damn shame what happened to that mall. I grew up a mile from, and now live 1-1/2 miles from it, spent a lot of my childhood in and around that mall but haven’t set foot in there since the mid 90’s. I’ll go to Chicago Ridge or Orland Square malls.
Fond memories of Ford City Theatre’s Pepsi bottle cap show, bring 6 bottle caps and get in free to see Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet, or The Ghost and Mr. Chicken “that-a-boy Luther”. The restaurants, Harvest House, Tally Ho, Tally’s Pub, Orange Julius, Johns Garage. Peacock Alley opened up I think around 1970, remember the Pagoda House headshop at bottom of stairway.
Carnival by the Ford Dealership, I think it was Murphy Ford. Ford City Banks Jack Wheeler t shirts, Millionaires Club. Bowling on Saturday morning in league then playing pinball afterwards in the game room, video games weren’t invented yet. Played in Bogan Baseball league, majors played at Ford City Field 76th & Pulaski, it had an outfield fence, grass infield not like Bogans dirt infield filled with rocks and glass, and a concession stand selling hotdogs, pop, chips, candy, and above that was an announcers booth, a high class operation we thought. Daley College is there now. Ford City Drive the with the overpasses on Cicero and Pulaski, we’d slide down the grass embankment and played a few pick up ball games inside that circular drive, this was before the firehouse on Pulaski was built.
Time marches on.

Great post to you! The Mayor thinks he has all the trades in his pocket, nice to see that he doesn't, and thank you for explaining just how unlikely it is that this clusterfuck could ever possibly be built in three years time. RIP Peacock Alley.
Where is he going to put the 18 miles of detritus for each of his two tunnels? Hell, they haven't even removed the mountain of spoils in Crestwood from the digging of the Cal-Sag Channel some 100 years ago.
