Everyone laughed when Elon said he'd dig tunnels to fix LA traffic..
Now his underground Vegas loop is making $75M a year.
But how this business grew is actually wild.
Here's what's actually happening beneath the strip: 🧵

- At age 12, Vivek Ramaswamy made a promise to his parents: "I'll get into Harvard." But when they checked his grades... They found him trading stocks during class. The untold story of how a middle-class kid became America's youngest billionaire:
- "A small loan of a million dollars" Few could turn it into a $200M empire though... The 47th U.S. President turned Queens housing into Manhattan gold The story behind first deal will shock you:
- A Bitcoin ATM can generate $30,000+ in monthly revenue with just 3-4 transactions per day. 96% of operators are profitable within 6 months. Yet most people don't know how this business actually works. I'll show you the exact numbers behind this passive income machine...
- The most successful founder network ever: "The PayPal Mafia" They turned a payment startup into a multi-billion dollar empire. Here's their playbook:
- Replying to @sol_boxy• 90% customer satisfaction • 4.9/5 average rating • 0 accidents in 3 years • Profitable in year one While others debate perfect solutions... Boring Company built an imperfect one that actually works. And Vegas is loving it. Your key takeaway?
- Replying to @sol_boxySometimes the best solution isn't the most advanced one. It's the one that can be built today, serves real needs, and makes money while doing it. That's the real tunnel vision.
- Replying to @sol_boxyYou might've heard of Elon's Vegas Loop: A 1.7-mile tunnel system under the Las Vegas Convention Center that critics called "just a tunnel with Teslas." But here's what's really happening beneath the neon lights of Vegas.. And why it's working better than anyone expected:

- Replying to @sol_boxyThe convention center loop cost $47M to build. Traditional subway systems? $500M+ per mile. Elon found the sweet spot between buses and trains—Boring Company digs tunnels for $10M per mile. That's 1/50th the cost of traditional subway tunnels. But how??
- Replying to @sol_boxyThe system is expanding rapidly: • 68 stations planned • 87 total miles of tunnel • Will connect entire Vegas strip • Airport to downtown in 5 minutes Current subway projects take decades. Vegas Loop? Adding new stations monthly. Here's what critics miss:

- Replying to @sol_boxyThe Vegas Loop isn't using any groundbreaking tech. No autonomous vehicles. No fancy routing algorithms. No "hyperloop" magic. Just human drivers in regular Teslas. Here's why that matters:
00:00 - Replying to @sol_boxyWhile everyone was waiting for perfect self-driving tech, Boring Company did something clever: They simplified everything. One-way tunnels. No lane changes. No traffic signals. No pedestrians. It's literally impossible to crash. Here's the real genius ⤵️
