So it's a taxi.
Motherfucker loves trying to reinvent the wheel only to end up at the goddamn wheel.
"I'ma invent a giant system that goes underground so we can move people around faster!" That's a subway, you santorum-covered condom.
Par for the course for techbros. His hyperloop was a shittier train. UberPool is a shittier bus. All these dumbfucks grow up being told they're the specialest boys, so of course people who made better things before them were clearly wrong.
Hyperloop was a raging success - it stopped funding of railway. I believe he even admitted that this was behind it to begin with.
Luckily only in Murica.
The liberal parties here tried to make the same argument here, but luckily no one takes them seriously (in Europe this means something different, than in the US. It's not progressive/left-leaning, they are more like Libertarians/Republicans. They don't hate gay people, but hate paying taxes and regulations)
Wait, who actually likes paying taxes?
//edit: Forgot I'm on Lemmy. I'll show myself out, comrades.
I do.
When I fall of my bike, hurt my arm and need a doctor to fix it, I don't have to think about insurance or medical debt, or anything. I just go to the hospital and go back home to heal without paying a dime and with paid leave for as long as I need to recover.
I also love that I can take an affordable train to go almost everywhere in my country, that universities don't require a loan so high that you will be paying for it for years... I could go on, but you get the idea.
I love paying taxes because it's way cheaper than the american alternative.
People who are not too stupid or egoistic to see that good things happen with them?
I love the awesome public transport network here, I love the good maintained hiking paths, I love that I can walk safe outside because of good social security. I love that all people have access to good healthcare here
I do. They make sure that my family which is borderline in proverty and barely able to live sometimes can actually survive.
I believe paying taxes is a fair tradeoff for living in a society. My concerns are that those taxes be applied fairly, even if that impacts me, and that they be used to improve society for its people, even if it costs me more.
I know people who are elderly or have lower income, I have kids in college, I have been between jobs in parts of my career, I’ve had major medical emergencies in my family …. And I have the empathy to want no one to go through that without assistance. I know the only way for people to “pick themselves up by their bootstraps” (I know, I know), is that when they fall off the tightrope they are caught before hitting the ground. I know the only way to break the cycle of poverty and crime is for kids to start with the same opportunities as their peers. I know that technology and science can be directed and accelerated by targeted investments. And yes, even if it costs me more. My successes are a product of my society and it is fair for them to feed back into society

A shittier version of the wheel.
An oval.
Isn't the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?
I cringed. I don't know if you made that up or not, and the fact that I genuinely can't tell made me sad for this stupid timeline.
Apparently it fucking is. God I hate everything.
Hahahaha
Edit: oh fuck I thought you were just making a joke. Jesus fucking Christ.
Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.
Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren't rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.
If it made sense, Saab would have done it.
If so, they stole that name from Sony
::: spoiler An X... New rimless cross spoke omnidirectional wheel
Musky naming something involving X.
Challenge: Impossible.
A square and it’s going to be revolutionary. Each side of the square is going to be an add-on
AKA...the "New and Improved Wheel". It's all about the marketing.
A wheel that may very well kill you, depending on a number of factors that they are well aware of, but unwilling to admit to, in order to fix them.
props for the accurate use of "santorum."
The story behind that was that there was a actual plan for public transportation in California, but the hype trains surrounding this diverted all that attentionaway from meaningful changes
“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
-Elon Musk
But it’s Nazi inventions. Or something I dunno. He’s an idiot and has always been. Just took everyone this long to realize it.
