California's Rs 918 Crore Rail Bridge Leads to Nowhere and Elon Musk Has This to Say About it

The state government of California is under scrutiny for its celebration of the completion of a high-speed rail bridge. The project, which has cost taxpayers over 11 billion US Dollars and took nine years to build is now getting criticism for its lack of progress and functionality.

Several people, including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, have mocked the California High-Speed Rail Authority after announcing the completion of “Fresno River Viaduct” last year, a small segment of the state’s long-delayed bullet train project that aimed to link San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Elon Musk took to X and expressed his disappointment with a sad, crying emoticon about the project, hinting towards the project’s possible cancellation. The post was later removed.

Billy Markus mocked the authority and said in his X post, “This is the most remarkable human achievement ever. 1600 feet of high-speed rail after 9 years and 11 billion dollars. It takes about 5 minutes to walk 1,600 feet, so a high-speed rail for that is a really big deal.”
