Oh, no! Looks like officials were bribed to spend money on stupid shit that is not useful in anyway! But our society needs these philanthropists. It just does.
I’m not as pessimistic as you. This venture will obviously fail but at least musk took care of the expensive part of drilling the tunnels. What’s do you think about the over/under of this being converted to train within 15 years?
A car can barely fit in those tunnels. They would have to make those several times bigger for trains + add emergency exits and vents the Musk didn't bother to build
