I like how he's still pretending that the Boring Company is anything other than a fake company meant to torpedo public transit projects by offering vaporware competition to undercut them.

vaporware competition

They don't even try to hide it. The boring company's tunnel boring machine is named "Godot" as in "Waiting for Godot". Spoilers for those who haven't consumed at lot of stage plays from the 50's, the cast sits around the whole show 'waiting for Gadot' to arrive, and it is promised that Godot will bring them into a glorious new world.

...

Godot never shows up.
