Yeah, regardless of if these talks actually happened or are going to lead to anything, publically associating with an Elon Musk company is a bad look for Universal.

And if they go through with it, Universal will have some explaining to do.

I don’t know if there’s serious discussion, but I would easily believe it has been at least unofficially proposed/floated to the stated parties and there are certain parties that would want to milk it for even more. The worry for me is that I see the other major I-Drive players being quite comfortable cozying up to Musk for something they see as a marketable “luxury” option, so even if Universal dismisses it, it might get potential interest and momentum despite being the transit version of vaporware.

I get the feeling it's leaks of any sort of meetings, even just introductory, for buzz. I could see this becoming "to Universal" aka near it off site if it does happen.

But the one thing the boring company IS good at is killing of local transit initiatives on behalf of others. Plus, they're flaky at best.

The idea of taking floo powder from Ministry and appearing in Diagon and turning it into a transportation ride like Hogwarts is definitely pretty cool

Buttttt I don't see how there is any way they could actually build this in Florida especially in that area

What if it's aboveground? What if they design a "tunnel" system to be aboveground so it's easy to showcase what this system is capable of?

I doubt this ever happens, I just wish for improved transportation in the area.

imagine if someone built some sort of semi-autonomous form of transportation, capable of moving high volumes of people in a short period of time. what a world that would be!

I was thinking more along the "Hyperloop" concept since the Boring Tunnel is essentially a similar concept except with cars. Idea is to reduce as much friction as possible.

This is obviously all likely not to happen, just intrigued
