Kindness of their hearts right? Not if we know elon. He'll get it back big time somehow. Hopefully they'll have really big "GUN FREE ZONE" signs to keep the murder rate down.

Research how well it went when Daley sold the parking meters to a private company..this is going the same way.
There is MONEY in it for Rahm..

A great venture for Musk and the City of Big Shoulders.

and the trains will run on auto-pilot!

[Dilbert San Diego]

As I recall, the existing “L” or elevated trains in Chicago, have a direct line from downtown to O’Hare.

If there’s already a train running, why the need for another?

Or to look at another way, why not run some express trains non stop from downtown to O’Hare on the existing tracks? Then you would have a non stop train ride to the airport.

It sounds like a huge expenditure for very little additional public benefit.

Musk is the PT Barnum of Tech.

Every time it looks like his empire is about to implode - out comes a more fantastic piece of news.

Truly, a gifted promoter.

Public transportation in this horseshit state IS legally gun free! (snicker, snicker)

Years ago the state of Teas wanted to do a tunnel from Central Expressway to Love Field airport, right underneath Mockingbird. The people, most of which are millionaires, kicked up a fuss and it was never built. Now they all have to contend with all the traffic of people trying to get to the airport.

Another boondoggle on the taxpayers back.

How many miles is it ? Shorter the better (even if all underground)

A Limited distance that will have sufficient customers (for utility beyond ‘prestige’)

Not doing something that airplanes ALREADY handle well enough (ie - unlike californias high speed rail project)

[Lurker]

“but Boring Company will finance the entire project.“

No, they won’t. The entire underground in the Loop is honeycombed with tunnels that go back 100 years. Some of them aren’t even mapped. Then there’s the small matter of the tunnels that were sealed after the Great Chicago Flood.

Guess what, they’re still full of water. The smallest wrong move will inundate the entire downtown area.

This lunacy will never get past the approval process.

Never.
