the trial move thing doesn't make a ton of sense to me. if i was his legal team i would not be so sure of moving out of the bay. lotta elon riders who probably aren't fully soured on him. it's possible the jury will contain someone connected to twitter, yes, but you'd presumably try to weed those people out. far more likely in the Bay you'd get someone who owns a tesla and thinks it's nifty (or knows someone who does) and hasn't been paying much attention to twitter. the Bay is so insanely loving full of teslas and the owners can't all have renounced musk just because of the (in the scheme of things) sparsely reported twitter drama with him being a chud. it's hard to be like "drat i guess i got rooked by this dickhead on my 40,000 dollar purchase, i'm a mark, gently caress him". most people are going to stick with "i am a smart person who purchased a good product with my smarts" and stick with the slightly out of date perception of musk. lib or not.

It's amazing people believed they were going to build a giant elevator (that leaves a big hole in the sidewalk) to lower the entire vehicle full of people down to a tunnel. Like that is the least possible efficient or practical solution to that problem. But then I'm not a engineering genius or anything.

The car elevator thing is also really funny because to get their estimated cars per hour you’d need like, four city blocks full of car elevators going up and down every thirty seconds 24/7 to feed a single on-ramp.

I'm kind of mad that in order to have a reasonable claim to domain knowledge in my own field I have to be an expert on infrastructural and strategic planning questions way above my pay grade, but apparently if you ask Elon what his vision for "scaling" is with regard to this tunnel there is no way in hell he'd have any coherent thing to say "How does this use less energy or less machinery or less time to transport the number of people who currently travel this route?" "What happens when there are 10x the number of Teslas in this little tube as there are now? 100x?" "How do you build a whole network of tubes that cover the city with many stops? What happens when they intersect with each other? How does this improve on a subway?"

What if instead of an elevator, you put in some stairs? That way you could walk down to where the car is and it could simply carry you away, that'd be a lot more efficient. And what if instead of a single car you connect several together so you can move a bunch of people at once original idea do not steal

What if people didn't want to have to clamber into a car seat for the three-minute ride? What if you made a bigger Tesla that you could fit like two dozen people into, some on benches, some standing? Hell, you could cram a couple hundred in there during rush hour! oh but then you wouldn't be able to pick your music or video game for you and the two other strangers you get to ride with for three minutes

Robert did a whole thing on Musk about two years ago which was, in hindsight, not harsh enough. This was still in the "Real life Tony Stark" period, so even suggesting he was a shitbag then was something else.

It's hosed up and kind of a great example of why no single person should ever have this much money.

Like that is the least possible efficient or practical solution to that problem. I don't think even the deliberately dopiest sci-fi dystopia ever came up with "let's make our city's mass-transit system basically a road, but with lower vehicle capacity, building costs several orders of magnitude higher, complex and expensive infrastructure requirements and access points that work like Tracey Island from Thunderbirds." All this just to eliminate the chance that you might accidentally come into close contact with a poor person.

The Tesla loop has drivers 💀 it's literally a line of Ubers in a tube. It somehow manages to be worse than every other form of transport including walking and cycling.
