“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx in Gizmodo

Silicon Valley's Push Into Transportation Has Been a Miserable Failure

The titans of tech brought plenty of disruption to our broken transportation system but delivered little in the way of innovation.

@BrentToderian @parismarx @glennf Musk is just a waste of food, water and oxygen.

The problem is the gullible tech press and the poor education and critical thinking skills among the public. This charlatan played to the lazy media plods cranking out copy, and our need for heroes.

We're talking humans here: real degenerate scum, who continue to fly and eat meat and consume trinkets that won't make them happier, as they fry their own planet.

Really a garbage species.

@BrentToderian @parismarx omfg he said the quiet bit out loud

I'd love to see Richard Branson's face now?

@BrentToderian like everything he does. Trolling and destroying.

@BrentToderian @parismarx

Bad guy 👿 versus good guy 😇 rants are not going to provide you with the transport system you are hoping for.

@BrentToderian @parismarx From my perspective there is no enterprise this man has undertaken that was not fundamentally a predation on or attack against the idea of public goods
@BrentToderian @parismarx It isn't just Musk, every week we have crazy announcements of breakthrus from the tech sector in energy or whatever, all implausible.
