It was some bullshit elon made up to stall high speed rail. The concept was to shoot people through low pressure tubes in cramped passenger compartments. that idea is too hard, so It turned into the stupid vegas tesla loop track in practice.
Yeah I remember him admitting or whatever that it was a pipe dream to stall transit from being built, for personal gain.
Which should have meant he was sent to a labour camp and all of his assets nationalized for the rest of his life. In a sane world thats what would have happened.
Send him to the big labor camp in the sky.
he didn't come up with it, it's an old science fiction idea
yeah, he just repackaged the idea with a few tweaks, and lied about how cheap it would be.
