Whistleblowers say Elon Musk’s Boring Co. putting workers' lives at risk

Tesla and SpaceX aren't the only businesses owned by Texas billionaire Elon Musk's to draw serious whistleblower complaints about their safety records. Workers at Musk's Boring Co. raised concerns about "life-threatening risks" during the firm's construction of tunnels in the Lone Star State, according to a new Express-News investigation. Among the allegations: employees were burned with chemicals on the job, the company let inadequately trained hires run heavy machinery and managers frowned on breaks to such an extent that crews "urinated and defecated in the tunnels" they were constructing.
