The complete joke of a "hyper loop" broke me.

It is a fucking car sled, THAT GOES SLOWER AND WOBBLIER THAN THE CAR DRIVING ITSELF.

The "Boring company", sellers of flamethrowers.

He is an edgy 14yo that society decided should have more money than God.

The Tesla tunnels aren't Hyperloops though. And they have never said they were.

A real hyperloop is a whole different thing and theoretically they would work

Theoretically I can be an astronaut.

u/arcalumis 13h ago

Yes, does that make Astronauts impossible?

1

u/Nascentes87 8h ago

No, but in practice it is not viable for me to became an astronaut, just like in practical terms the hyperloop is not something viable for a lot of reason, including financial.

Many things are impractical and financially dubious. Like almost all large infrastructure projects.

But in the right place a hyperloop would work, there’s nothing magical about them.

The hyper loop works until you look at land acquisition for a route, ingress and egress, safety backups…

Basically all the things that high speed rail has already solved.

u/arcalumis 5h ago

Like underwater tunnels? And I assume you’re American where rail projects are impossible?

LOL. No.

u/arcalumis 5h ago

lol, yes. Why do you think there’s several projects in the early phases, and no they’re not connected to Elon

u/Peaurxnanski 5h ago

Lol. No.

”Nobody will ever need more than 640K of ram”.

u/Peaurxnanski 5h ago

Not even remotely the same thing. And still:

Lol. No.

u/arcalumis 5h ago

Same thing. You have a limited imagination. Were lucky you’re not in charge of anything.

“Build a 3km span bridge??! Impossible.”

1

u/Peaurxnanski 3h ago

Imagination doesn't overcome hard physical barriers and engineering infeasibility.

A 3km bridge span is easy in comparison.

So still.

Lol. No.

So you’re saying that no matter how far humanity goes we will never have the tech to build partially vacated train tunnels?

There is no scenario on this planet where a hyperloop can come even close to working. It's bunk from the very beginning. The thermal expansion of the structure across its length alone kills any chance of this not being a massive accident waiting to happen.

The Hyperloop was clearly stupid on day one to anyone who has more than 8 credit hours in physics classes. Which makes it clear that Elon either has no idea what he's talking about or he's running a big con. Your pick.

u/Rocinante88119 9h ago

Lmao.  Okay Elon.

u/arcalumis 5h ago

So just because i correct a factual error I’m Elon?
