No, your response is worse, not better. It adds nothing to the conversation. Your original post could have merit if you back some of it up. This response is just internet shit-talking, and the opposite of the goal of HN. I think this bid process was quite interesting and unusual. Build the infrastructure in exchange for the right to operate the system, with restrictions (must meet certain minimum departures, etc etc). I also thought it was interesting that Boring Co. won the bid, and now has exclusive negotiation with city officials for a year. So yeah, it might change in the next year or so, and whatever timelines they settle on might change (that's one very valid criticism of Musk), but I don't see any reason to think it won't happen.
