“In 2010, I brought a team, scientists from every field, and we recounted the stones based on the new evidence, and we found out that the stones of the pyramid …”

Hawass says a 2010 recount found the Great Pyramid contains more than one million stone blocks, with average limestone blocks weighing half a ton to two and a half tons.

“So now that you know that the base is solid rock, that removes 1,300,000 stones that were”

The claim is that recognizing the pyramid base is solid carved rock removes about 1,300,000 blocks from the previous 2,300,000 estimate.

“above the king's Chamber in the Great Pyramid are five further chambers. And these chambers are roofed and floored with granite beams that weigh about 70 tons …”

Hancock claims the Great Pyramid's relieving chambers above the King's Chamber contain hundreds of 70-ton granite beams.

“even when the ground moves, the tunnel actually is able to shift along with the ground, like an underground snake. And it doesn't crack or break. And it's extr…”

Musk describes the Boring Company tunnel segments as flexible, unbreakable under ground movement, and rated to withstand five atmospheres of pressure while being fully waterproof and gas-proof.

“This is one of the worst places to dig tunnels because the – mostly because of the paperwork. People think it's like what about seismic? It's like actually tun…”

Musk claims that earthquakes are essentially a surface phenomenon, implying underground tunnels are inherently very safe during earthquakes.

“So then we got the permit for the pit, and we dug the pit. And we dug it in, like, I don't know, three days, two, three days.”

Musk claims the Boring Company obtained a permit and dug its first test pit in about two to three days (later clarified in the same conversation as roughly 48 hours).
