Elon's main thing is selling cars, of course he actively opposes whatever would let people not buy a car.
He says the only public transit he would support is individual capsules running in a tunnel.
Essentially literal echo chambers where you never have to interact with anyone who might expand your horizons.
I'm as liberal as it gets, but public transit that mimics private cars would absolutely be a game changer.
I don't want to have to interact with others using public transit. It's not the time nor place to "expand your horizons".
High speed rail with private cubes wouid absolutely get people using public transport.
No matter what everyone liberal / green / progressive claims, the main drawback of public transport is the public part. Listening to others bullshit and smells just sucks compared to the privacy of your own car.
Yep. And if our ultra-capitalism system didn't turn masses to homelessness and the middle class to tired/poor; public transit could have been dope 😕🤔. They could have really made it amazing 😍🤩. But the ruling class cares more about.... other stuff.
I mean I imagine celebrates, super wealthy 🤑 people, gov Officials , cops and ETC, I imagine they don't ride the tubes / trains / subways ?
