There are fake groups with bots on Facebook (and likely other social media) that are praising Elonia. I actually saw one that was trying to turn this failure project into some kind of success.

So all box.sol really cares about is if it is profitable.

Not that it actually functions well.

It's not even that profitable, assuming the data is correct.

Cities with similar size in other countries can make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars instead with massive public transports.
