    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)
