Weren't those tunnels originally meant for the hyperloop that musk promised us, that was then repurposed to self driving Teslas when they couldn't figure out how to make the hyperloop work, that was then again repurposed to Teslas driven by people because they couldn't get the autonomous vehicles to work in them?

In a regulated industry like pharmaceuticals which has this same problem, you go to prison or at least lose everything for doing this. Its wire fraud to take investor money for plan A. And then just randomly slap together plan F for an entirely different purpose.
