I've just seen him as another tech billionaire and generally dont care what he has to say on social matters because it doesn't affect my life in anyway.

There are always going to be people who are saying things we like or dont like on social media and i dont give it much thought because it'd be an unproductive use of my time to waste any energy on it.

Yup, you got me. I've completely lost my shit, and hate the fact that Elon Musk draws breath. What a super saiyan observation.

Or, it could be that I don't care one way or the other about Musk, and simply am pointing out that cucks like you roll over to simp for him at the whiff of one of his farts.

But I know self-awareness isn't your strength, considering you could be inside a phone booth and you'd think the booth was empty.

if anyone is throwing out technology based ideas good or bad (e.g. nuking mars) i think its a good thing for the sake of simply stirring up conversation on more interesting topics.

If the things he does in the tech space results in positive outcomes for people then hes a net positive for humanity

that user is larping as an engineer now. for someone who never actually became what they bragged to everyone here about, that person loves to role-play


it's always a riot seeing who allies 100% wiith the government to go against an immigrant African American who is the spearhead behind accessible alternative energy mechanisms. these people are the true racists of our time - undoubtedly descended from those who enacted jim crow and 'separate but equal'. the usual suspects in this thread are of course present in their persistence at holding onto past bigotries by their ancestors. ironically nearly all of them are pale, pasty, privileged people. anyone here surprised?

this.. I actually kind of like that guy.. but he is SUCH a try hard right now and has so many failed tweets.
reaching. Its better when he concentrates on building shit.

I'm waiting for his next tweet so I can make a thread about it just to see you losing your shit once again.

Everyone dies.

it is not about how much, is how you use it

I wasn't referencing land cost when I said it's economically unviable.

If you remove the vacuum it stops being a hyperloop. Then it just becomes a train in an above-ground encasing, at which point you drop the encasing because it's pointless, and you're left with regular train. If you put it underground it's just a subway.

The hyperloop requires miles and miles of vacuum tunnel, any single point of failure results in total inoperability and potential catastrophic failure. Tack on that the fact that it would require weeks to pump out every time there's any level of failure, and the fact that you have to also install life-support systems because the humans inside still need oxygen in the event of a stall, and the fact that anybody can approach with a gun and just shoot it to cause an immediate failure, and etc. etc. etc. When you take out all the stupid shit, it just becomes a train. Hyperloop is a train but insanely more dangerous and expensive.


As for the underground tunnels, what we got from that promise was a system where you go down, get in an uber, and ride to your destination about a mile away. It's literally just a worse tram system. The idea of building tunnels to drive your car through isn't in itself his worst idea, but he's promising to build the tunnels with a 90% improvement on cost and then put self driving cars through them and blah blah blah. When an easier solution is just to put a tram and improve public transportation.
