at a subsidy by the Boring Company of $2.50/ride x 700,000 rides, that’s a $1,750,000 loss to the Boring Company ... i guess i don’t see where the 100x savings is you claim is ...

700,000 rides is only the beginning. The Las Vegas council saw it’s worth enough to have them do the whole thing.

The costs of other companies boring are much greater than the Boring Company. Upwards of 1.5 billion/mile in New York and $400 million/mile every where else.

The Boring Company can do it for $5 million/mile, or 1/10 the cost.
