Sure bud, 75 million a year.
Let's be super generous and say this thing operates 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. And let's say we're talking about turnover, not profit when saying it "makes" 75 million a year. And let's say they do a 100 trips an hour all day long. That would mean a single trip would cost over $85. Yeah right, in your dreams buddy.
Knowing how musk operates, it's 5 million in profit and 70 million paid by Vegas or some government handout as some sort of fucked up deal he managed to get
More likely is 100 million in losses, but 175 million paid by vegas
This sub seems like it's got more disinformation and engagement bait than a lot of others. I agree with the concept but a post about a tweet retweeting someone's blatantly false info is just dumb.
I assume it is revenue. That would be realistic but absolutely laughable, my local public transport company makes 240 million Euros in revenue every year. They also operate at a 140 million deficit but I doubt that tunnel is any different. Neither will it have transported 200 million people either.
