Wait? A grifter and serial liar was proved he's useless on things he claims he can deliver?

On my screen I'm seeing this AutoModerator message just above your little rant.

I see auto-moderator posts on every single post. Sometimes the only post is an auto-moderator post.

I dont think he ever said he would or could; iirc it was more about getting the engineering and science end of it worked on, getting proof of concept vehicles, and broadly getting the whole thing moving

Same with EVs and rockets, his plan as stated originally was to push the rest of the industry towards these things, doing it himself if need be, but relying on the inevitability of other major corporations and governments signing on to these ideas as well

And if anything this is validation for Elon, since the anti elon folks kept whining it was impossible or impractical

You very clearly didn’t read the article. Elon was talking about moving people 1,200km/hour. This is basically an underground conveyor belt which goes up to 30km/hour. The goals is to reduce road congestion by up to 40%. It’s completely different and in no way vindicates elons idea whatsoever

it's not validating him, since it's not a hyperloop.
