Not even big oil wants this. The airlines don’t want this and we don’t want this.
This is only happening because Dowager President Musk demands for his Stupid 19th century Pod technology.
He drew up the pods, had the whole plan laid out, and realized, like everyone before him, it's to hard to finance, operate, and maintain for what it does. That's why we ended up with the "traffic jam...but underground!" thing in Vegas
Elon is easily the biggest nimby threat for US transit projects than even the Koch Brothers. He is doing this because he stuck in head for his pet boring corp scams.
The whole “doing trains but in depressurized tubes” idea is not a new idea by any means and Musk didn’t come up with it. It was never pursued because it’s an engineering and safety nightmare.
