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.
Hear hear. I think it was Chomsky that said something like "we should all be celebrating tax day; that we don't speaks volumes"
A shittier version of the wheel.
An oval.
Isn't the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?
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.
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.
::: spoiler An X... New rimless cross spoke omnidirectional wheel
Musky naming something involving X.
Challenge: Impossible.
AKA...the "New and Improved Wheel". It's all about the marketing.
“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”

props for the accurate use of "santorum."
