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.
