I did not see that comming. The SpaceX fan in me would hope he spends less time on Tesla and more on SpaceX, but that is very unlikely - he will probably work as usual, just with different powers/title/oversight.

Still ridiculous to get so much shit for a tweet, when a certain other well known public figure cough can tweet the most absurd bullshit without consequence. Oh well.

One of the most vocal Tesla shorts have just flipped. Guess this means Tesla had a significantly better quarter than people expected.

Elon Musk unveils prototype high-speed LA transport tunnel

Looks a bit rubbish to me. But it is a prototype proof of concept, which will get better. Should be a smooth ride though, couldn’t that of been got right the first time when its such an important critical feature. Lets see how this evolves over the coming years.

Speed managed 49mph, getting to 150 its going to be pretty scary if its not smooth ride at that speed.

Elon Musk: IN 3D… it is infinitely expandable.
Napoleon: You wish to dig a tunnel under a tunnel while the above is in use? I have no time for this nonsense.

The way you beat traffic is to have less cars on the road, seeing that they stay unused throughout most of their lifetime.

But at least it is not actually a vehicle on a platform vehicle, referred to some media outlets as the “skate”. Why did the artists think that “put the vehicle on another vehicle” was wise is beyond me. So the criticism by someone like Thunderf00t was understandable:

The skates were a better idea, in my opinion. We have a similar system to this near Cambridge, although it’s above ground and designed for specially kitted buses. They’re still not especially comfortable because the guide wheels have basically no suspension, and they don’t really go any faster than regular traffic.

Guess who now has a statue of a Muskox named after him?

It’s a tunnel. Hardly a revolutionary concept. Putting trains in it would be far more efficient.
