Shout out to everyone at CES right now, seeing first hand how ridiculous the Boring company Hyperloop tunnel is.

Go to Los Reyes restaurant in the Sunnydale neighborhood of San Francisco. Order some delicious food. I recommend Pupusas! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ Wait a few hours. Use their restroom. Flush. Wash your hands!

You are now using a much better engineered tunnel, built by the same boring machine!

He bought a second hand sewer tunneling robot and built that nonsense.

You know the rules. Every time someone says "Hyperloop" I bring up the Shanghai Maglev.

EU folk aren't impressed by the Shanghai Maglev but for US folk I assure you that this footage is not sped up, and that is not a low flying aircraft. Trains really do run that fast outside of the US and have for some time.

We could be SF to LA in comfort in an hour and a half, but we're playing. Philly to NYC in 30 minutes, but we prefer traffic.

Shanghai Maglev @ 431km/h (268mph) // World's fastest train!

If you think the Shanghai Maglev is expensive, ask anyone that's ever worked on a real civil engineering project to estimate the cost of building and maintaining a tunnel at near complete vacuum for hundreds of miles. When they laugh at you, say "No I'm serious, this is how Hyperloop is supposed to work"๐Ÿคก

Don't talk to me about 600 mph Hyperloops running in an absolute vacuum. That's silly. I'm going to ask you about what happens the first time a train pops.

I can't believe it took this Twitter mess for folks to see who this dude really is.
@mekkaokereke it was hyperloop for me to realize heโ€™s not playing with a full deck. The boring company was just the cherry on the top.
@Fluzbug @mekkaokereke I didn't know much about him until he decided to launch a car into space. That told me everything I needed to know.
