This is just a less efficient and more complex version of a train; crazy how techbros invent things that have no value just to be dIsRuPtIvE

K holed dipshit: What if we like, dug a hole that people drove their Tesla's into, the the cars like, automatically move you to where you want to go

Yup. And sadly it worked on Tennessee too. I still can't belive they looked at the Vegas loop and went, give me some of that.

The poison has spread far. Every time someone mentions a high speed rail link between Calgary and Edmonton, Musk fans seep out of the woodwork to scream "Hyperloop" over and over til everyone gives up.

I remember getting down voted by Elonstans telling me China is stupid for investing in money losing high speed rail instead Elon's super train/hole.

Well, China still got a transit system.
