Seriously. At least the grifts of the 19th century gave America a widespread rail network.
It's too big to fail because Tesla has lots of insider trading within democrats ranks
TFW your 50s physics for kids book had vacuum trains as an example of cool but ultimately dumb idea
Wait until Musk says he's creating another revolutionary form of transport: flying cars.
Dude I wish he'd make an actual good jetpack, that's all I've ever wanted as a kid
"Hyper loop technologies"
Need a cloud-to-butt filter that replaces the word "hyperloop" with "Trains but Bad"
was watching some :wtyp: and they were talking about how the saudis are planning to use a hyperloop for THE LINE and i think that says all that needs to be said
I saw that cheesy as fuck video they put out for The Line when it was announced but haven't heard a single thing about it still. Is what they're doing even possible? I guess they have enough money most of it could work? I really don't know much about it but it seemed really over the top
i looked it up on maps yesterday and all thats there is a bunch of fucking golf courses and palaces for mbs right on the coast and some really ominously-names workers camps and security camps next to each other and literally not a single other thing has been built so my guess is no lol
edit: and the wtyp episode mentioned someone asked mbs about the no-streets thing and he said "um sweaty relax were gonna have flying cars by 2025 its fine" so
Reminder that Musk's business successes hinges on a shit ton of government subsidies
The one that's slightly more train-like and not just a bunch of teslas on carts
Ffs why not just built high speed rail instead of wasting money on this shit?

"As the earth is awash in floods and alight in flame - forces fight underground for dead tunnels and infrastructure in Hyperloop Preppers joint sponsored by AmazonTactical and AmazonMoonBase. Fight for it or go to it. Either way Amazon's got you covered!"
99% of all funding for large scale projects in America goes to contractors, and only 1% actually goes to building it
