The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.

Yeah I kinda hate requests for specific quotes like that sometimes. A person doesn’t have to say specifically “I hate public transportation” for it to be obvious, just like I don’t need someone to say “I hate trans people” specifically if they walk around complaining about bathrooms and pronouns.
If you had somehow been living under a rock that also has access to the internet, and were somehow not aware that Elon Musk is a far right quasi-“libertarian” (but only for the people he likes and agrees with) techbro douchebag, pulling up duckduckgo with the simple search “elon musk public transportation” would immediately make it clear how he feels about it.
There does come a point where “sincere questions” - assuming they are even sincere to begin with, serve only to muddy the waters and create confusion where there should be none. I’m not saying everyone should know everything - but if you’re really “just asking questions” about Elon Musk, on the internet, on LEMMY, in the year 2023… at some point it’s on you and it becomes extremely hard to assume good faith.
Jeeeesus. Man, I am glad I am not as cynical and bad-faithed as you, so much that if people didn’t say “source?” but instead literally “Does anyone have the source?”, that I would go out attacking them, and then attack anyone who defended them.
If the judge asked you for evidence of a claim, would you automatically assume they were questioning your legitimacy and start attacking that judge?
It’s extra silly because you literally are attacking somebody for not already knowing everything. That’s freaking absurd. Some people… are 20. Or new to the internet. Or are just starting to care about things like news and politics. It’s not peoples’ responsibility to “already know everything”.
Elon Musk is the world’s most prolific shitposter ever since Donald Trump’s fall from grace. He’s not an obscure figure, and this isn’t like me telling you to “do your own research” which involves a bunch of unsourced 3 hour YouTube videos. You can find out literally anything he’s ever said about anything by, as they say, googling it. If you really care enough to know about it, you can take the five seconds to do that, rather than “JAQing off” in the comments section.
I’m perfectly chill, and since this is your go to line of attack, I assume you know I’m right, too.
Why make a drama about it ? If you got some sources, provide them. Everyone benefits.
If its that easy, just say how to get them.
This kind of attitude just drive people away with their question. I wasn’t aware either that Musk was a public transit hater. If there’s no nice article documenting Musk behavior, so be it, we shall google but if someone has something, it’s easier to digest information like this than googling things.
Chill the fuck out and let the people ask their question and if you can, provide the answer or shut the fuck up.
Does anyone have a source for that?
He once described Public Transport as “rubbing shoulders with serial killers”.

I mean, he owns a car company.
Have you ever watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

i don’t have a source but elon’s twitter history at least is FULL of public transportation bashing, and calling the idea useless
Why should you get downvotes? For all anyone knows, this is a sincere, non-rhetorical question.
