Construction workers in Las Vegas swiftly erected a fence around an Elon Musk Boring Company site, concealing a large pond of liquid near a busy street. The company later clarified it was for construction purposes, but their hasty actions raised suspicions. This incident follows a complaint of illegal dumping of drilling fluids linked to the Vegas Loop tunnel project. The Boring Company was recently fined nearly five hundred thousand dollars for this violation, following a two thousand twenty-three investigation by Nevada OSHA. The company claims the pond is temporary and poses no health risks, but a Clark County Water Reclamation District invoice confirms the fine.
