The interviewer is horrible. I can imagine him on a blind date with an extremely hot looking woman; he won't be able to speak!!
As much as I admire you. What about the truck driver's. How are the gonna get paid?.
I'm in construction so I worry about the drivers that I know
가자 화성으로 그리고 더 미래에는 다행성 인류로 거듭나자!!!!
honestly, this looks cool on paper but in reality is like a big mess and a rip-off version of trains
I wonder how many new shareholders were made millionaires after this aired.
What if you find it relaxing to drive. Just sitting I wld get car sick. Car you drive if you want to?
Meanwhile, cars go 30 mph inside the Las Vegas tunnel lol
What about flying /hovering cars under ground on like tracks kind of thing guiding cars correctly and safely
Elon is the modern edison and he is still using poor Tesla to gain his credibility
Elon Musk is a scammer who profits from idiots, which are 99.9% in the Western world. If you morons can show Mars which has an orange sky, with an atmosphere density of 1% of the Earth's atmosphere! Any Soviet schoolboy will immediately understand that the sky there is black, as from the upper atmosphere on Earth. After all, dust in a technical vacuum will not fly and will immediately settle on the surface after a storm, and there will be no Rayleigh scattering of light there when the dust particles are larger than the visible light wave.
But in the world of uneducated fools, a clown like Elon Musk is the richest man and ignoramuses are happy to live with him at the same time !!!
I sympathize with you fools. The USSR will soon return, stop giving America fuel for nuclear power plants and burn fires. Since the United States does not know how to enrich uranium, 90% buys it in Russia. And it also flies into orbit on Soviet rockets, so there are only cartoons of its own. Just like Elon Musk's clown cartoons, where he lands rockets in the opposite direction.
It's pretty crazy how popular Elon has become by suggesting the most ridiculous things that 90+% of which will never come to pass, that guy knows how to waste money…
He's a successful software engineer who had a lucky brake when someone else made Paypal successful after he was fired but kept shares in the company… People should remember what his qualifications are before buying into his grand ideas…
For example,
Electric HGVs he thought 0-60 was the feature worth mentioning to the truck industry, the thing they care least about… Because the things they do care about, they suck at and most likely always will. And claimed they were ready to sell years ago…
Vertical take off electric jet planes that batteries don't even nearly exist for.
A underground tunnel network for cars, impractical costly stupidity that would solve nothing with even a small amount of critical thinking.
Hyperloop, the flaws on the underground tunnels on steroids.
Solar roof tiles, claimed they were ready to go years ago when they were nothing of the sort and still aren't. Proper solar panels will likely always be more efficient otherwise all solar panels would look like tiles…
Self driving cars that will make you $30,000 a year in taxi fares ready to go within a couple of years, several years ago… Claimed it finically insane to own anything other than a $70,000 Tesla…
Space X suggested replacing commercial planes with 10X as many rocket ships, perhaps the dumbest idea of them all…
Obviously Tesla has a place and is very successful, Space X has a place and is successful*ish* given they seemed on the edge of bankruptcy according to Elon around Christmas…
My issue is Elon's success is dwarfed only by his ability to peddle BS and hype it up.
Go to Mars and stay there!
I haven't seen the entire video but from the visualization in the first few minutes, i thought the idea was brilliant and has great potential. Elon mentioned that the congestion in a single level of a tunnel can be solved by adding other layers, but what about the congestion at the street level? I have a picture in my mind that when these toll type road are created, people will start queueing for the slots instead of taking the highway which is usually wide. If we place it on the streets and the queue forms, there's going to be congestion everywhere. My question here is will it be better if the elevators comes with a proper toll gate, and proper queueing system implemented?
What about now ?
He's intelligent!
It’s amazing how a South African can recognise a born South African accent so fast
He is very sensitive and multitalanted he is my favourite person of America
My meaning is you, Elon. ❤️ Future is full of augmenters robots, space travels, Mars civilization and Neuralink revolution. ❤️
Iam will be a big competition for u wait iam coming
Он очень наглый и умный человек. Я уважаю его.
This man's a total gem. A true visionary and leader. The way he talks shows the amount of knowledge he has but at the same time he is curious and determined to know more and more in order to build a better future. People may laugh at him for his extraordinary goals, he might also fail sometimes but this man has got the courage to learn from his failures and stand up again. Hats off to you Elon. Keep up the good work!
Basically what I have done with the music industry!
"its funny" but you don't own that
Everyone should be proud for what this man is doing for the world…….
solo Dios conoce el futuro lee la biblia elon musk en ves de control de masas tu intencion es el dominio completo de la humanidad con tu tecnologia y eso que no a aparecido la materia viviente tranformable a tu vos o toque o pensamiento de ordenes neuronales no le creas este hombre a un que todos lo adoren una neurona o celula viviente artificial vendra luego
"LA & Houston have built multi-lane highways only to clog them with 1 person per car/SUV passenger pattern in 2-D. We want to extend that concept into 3-D through the boring company. We would be happy to a 3-D traffic jam underground where cars can be driven at 130 mph so that you can get your favorite subway sandwich from LAX to westwood in 5 minutes".
Ellon Musk is a genius, respect
It's like a smaller version under p& m estates
Am I tlkn to myself
The emperor's new clothes. It makes no sense! Really, listen. He talks about "holding vacuum" etc. etc. etc. digging tunnels. You are all decived.
Well, your thoughts from the mold or matrix though which the infinite intelligence, wisdom, vital forces, and energies of our subconscious flow.
Dog….
