      look you see we do that with our boring company, it makes tunnels but only just big enough for a regular Tesla so you get the fun of combining subways with taxis. This let’s you not have to deal with the poors like in dirty NYC

      note tesla and boring company not responsible if a car catches fire in tunnel and everyone is killed due to not being able to get out of any of the vehicles

      Elon is a very capable and intelligent businessman, if this idea were practical he would have already designed it. Regarding the topic of white genocide, there are people who claim that it is a real and ongoing issue in South Africa, and that the popularity of political parties like the EFF is a sign of the black population’s support of the policy. However, it is crucial to remember that thus issue has not yet been settled, and one must keep an open mind.

      I think they did make a Tesla van or some shit a while ago that was immediately canned because it couldn’t pass American safety tests. Which is saying something because at this point, the US doesn’t have safety tests.

          They went with just “the loop” on that one, IIRC.

      Bit-lathe: All we gotta do is contact local transit authorities and tell them to ‘rebrand’ and pretend they’re private corporations and suddenly crackers will be enthusiastic.

      BART? Nah, we’re the hot new transportation service called Tubulr! We’re DISRUPTING the car industry by SYNERGY with our INNOVATIVE transportation solutions! I hear they might be using AI to drive!

      Now it’s a matter of getting the crackers who do live in and near the city to stop showing up to planning meetings to screed about their property values to get the housing built too.

        Just declare the city a special economic zone and abolish all local government, put real estate developers back in charge, total YIMBY victory, very Abundant.

    It’s just a bus but worse and costs 5x but every cracker in a 100 mile radius will be forking over their money because it avoids all the black bad neighborhoods and doesn’t have any black homeless people on it.

    They’ll never invent trains. You just can’t enshittify a train to the necessary level of profitability for these monsters.
