The platform's own early signals for this company — hard-to-fake, and where one preceded a real raise, the measured lead.
Currently, there is one sort of of these underground hyperloopesque systems running in Las Vegas. Uh it re and the company recently raised three billion from a round led by the UAE to bring the same technology to the Middle East.
He claims the tunnel will cut the, it's now about a 2-hour trip, uh, especially if there's traffic on 35. Uh, he's saying it'll cut down the trip between the two cities to just 30 minutes.
If you go 200 miles an hour and these things go down to 45 minutes, an hour, hour 15, man, that would be dynamite. You could literally live in any of these cities and work in another.
This would be unbelievable if Elon and the Boring Company add to their book of um you know business hyperloops and this would be super um accreative to the economies.
