I remember seeing all the big brain French train engineers blowing the fuck out of the Hyperloop back in the 2010s, matching up with my understanding of the technology and I guess that was the moment the Musk Hypnotism broke for me. We really don't even need maglevs, we can still move fast on iron, maglevs are only proposed to improve density by speed.
It was frustrating to see friends and cohorts think the hyperloop would solve a solved problem. And do it in a cost-efficient way. It didn't do either.
Touching grass is not enough, I want Elon Musk to get cancer in his dick and die
For all of his fans, he also has a lot of anti-fans. I'm surprised none of them have thrown him out the window of the twitter HQ or whatever. I guess he's paying his security team a lot.
- Distance is a factor
- He knows he's not liked, which is why he probably pays G4S or whatever a lot
- He can't run forever at the rate Xitter is going. One of his backers is that Saudi prince that had the journalist chopped up.
I usually don't wish violence on anyone, but I wouldn't mind seeing Musk made into douchebag tartar.
I mean all this money could have been used to create incentive to make high speed rail more widely available and cheaper and I am sure that would already be super beneficial for the world. Instead they had to trash all this money. I wonder why many think that humans are some form of special creatures that deserve to exist forever. If anything we will be lucky to exist for much longer.
Wait, touching grass? I don't get it...?
It's a recent, overused phrase meaning "go outside" (and not be online).
O...utside?
I tried opening windows, but I just got a blue screen, so I don't get it either.
I mostly agree with the statement but the Hyperloop wasn't solving a solved problem. Isn't mean to replace trains is meant to replace planes that rely on fossil fuels for international flights and even go faster than that. The basis of function is sound to my understanding but is probably too costly to implement mostly for economies in crisis, I never was sure if it was really as cost effective as they said it was.
Maintaining that much vacuum was never realistic.
Ok, sure, but what about hyperloop IN SPACE!
I'll be happy to discuss my brilliant new invention with anyone who still has money left over from this project.
Sounds easy enough, create space elevators with stations at the top and then make the tubes meet in space. What could it cost like $10?
