    AFAIK the Hyperloop thing was just a push to postpone investment in public transportation until Tesla has some market dominance and be proposed as better green solution than public transport

      Yes I agree

      But if we get enough people to label it as a failure instead of a secret success maybe elon’s ego will prevent him from doing it again in the future. The more failures the public can lay at his feet also means less political pressure to allow him to get away with shit like that.

      So far twitter and hyperloop have been major disasters. Neurolink is probably just a matter of time. Maybe even starlink as it’s way too expensive for most casual uses at the moment, will depend on the price coming down.

      Tesla build quality may come up to bit them in the ass in the long run too.

      I do hope spaceX survives his blundering though.

        I find it much more insulting that he took a whole nation for fools

        Edit: but fortunately you’re right about all his failing projects.
