The problem with the Boring Company is that it doesn't actually function in the "uninteresting" nature the eponym suggests. The fact that they continue ramming these underwhelming Vegas projects through without the necessary resources/planning to build something more useful than just running efficient ride-haling or buses speaks volumes.
It's like everything they build is a demo and they have to drum up PR around it. Hasn't this been continually happening for the better part of the last decade?
It would be wise to move away from the VC mentality for critical things like state/federal infrastructure.
