The Hyperloop was always a scam
(www.disconnect.blog)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Don't forget the "Hyperloop" in Las Vegas, which is just a tunnel where Teslas are driving people around. IMO that's the stupidest and the least efficient use of this tunnel.
The cars are not even self-driving, and mind you this is a closed system and easier to implement self-driving. So far with his self-driving copium, and robo taxis bullshit.
That's more about Elon hating mass public transportation. Probably because it involves being close to poor people.
Isn't that The Loop, not a Hyperloop?
whatever it is, its a human barbecue waiting to happen with how tight and coffinlike the tunnel is from what i've seen of videos.
Yeah he was supposedly building a hyperloop but we got cars in tunnel instead and our dumb ass politicians took our tax money to pay for it
Why do you still like him after he has shown who he really is? The quality of his products?
I didn't say I like him. I find the companies he is affiliated with interesting.
Lol, they tried and it didn't work well, even in a closed system. There was a whistleblower among the drivers a while ago. They were officially in the cars just to keep an eye of things but in reality they had to take over constantly, and they all had contracts that tried to keep them from talking about it. Oh yeah and they got scripts they had to follow if passengers asked questions about Musk or the project. 😄
Edit: here's some articles:

I didn't know about that. Good one.
Isn't that literally what they're talking about in the article?
No, the news here is that Richard Branson’s Hyperloop One company is shutting down. I don't believe that is related to the Loop (not Hyperloop) project in Las Vegas.
