It really sucks to see just how much money and time was wasted on such a monumentally stupid idea. I just want to see a string of mea cuplas from all the government officials, venture capitalists, and others that were duped by this and set back the growth of high speed rail by half a decade.
Elon Musk should get directly sued from the State of California for active sabotage of it’s public infrastructure.
the city of chicago also get in on this action
@throws_lemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.
Incorrect, the hyperloop always had precisely one purpose, for which it likely was pretty successful: https://jalopnik.com/did-musk-propose-hyperloop-to-stop-california-high-spee-1849402460
I don’t think the problem to be solved was “how to go fast”. It was more like “how to create travel corridors with minimal impact to private property”
i hope every other one of elons businesses dies next
Hyperloop was always a project to sabotage high-speed rail. Good thing it failed.
Either the Americans have very weird ideas about transportation or they’re completely controlled by auto companies. I don’t understand how they think that cars or this stupidloop is better than high speed rail. Traveling by train is far more relaxing, way less infuriating and leaves time for you to do something else meaningful. US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.
I walk an extra half hour so I can take the train instead of the bus for my morning commute. It’s worth it.
Either the Americans have very weird ideas about transportation or they’re completely controlled by auto companies.
Consider both: we know the auto companies controlled the populace by destroying any choice. We also know that public transit is looked on as a plebes travel mode ripe for gutting at every turn so the rich (and those who are gonna be rich any day now) can benefit.
This is Canada erasure.
Man stop linking to twitter
It is so weird that people are still regularly linking to this Nazi’s website like it’s a totally fine thing to do.
It just so happened to be the canonical source for this piece of information. And it wasn’t being run by an antisemite at the time the linked tweet was being written.
Even still, use nitter or something if you really have to.
The tweet wasn’t easily available on nitter (it wasn’t being highlighted).
Musk HATES hates public transportation. Which is weird because he’s in a private jet when he travels anyways.
It’s not weird at all, he owns a car company.
And somehow convinced americans that single lane traffic jam lubes are a good idea.
He´s selling cars, you know.
Another musk failure
Hyperloop did exactly what Musk intended.
