Elon Musks new idea is seriously retarded. The more i think about it the dumber it seems. Why not just build an entire subway system that can be used by large numbers of the population at one. Why build a giant network of crisscrossing tunnels just for individual cars, how will this be profitable? They just announced the project earlier this week, and now today in LA they already have a boring machine starting to dig tunnels under the city. This is happening so fast, especially for a shitty idea like this one. Im starting to think something is up. With the growing threat of nuclear war, musk is probably secretly trying to dig bomb shelters under the city that he will be able to charge the elite of hollywood large sums to get access too.

>Why not just build an entire subway system that can be used by large numbers of the population at one
He is not a socialist. He build DRM subway for DRM cars

Elon Musk is a fucking meme. Where did this guy come from anyway? He is just the face they slap on the same old government contractors that get big corporate welfare.

Today's companies are all about growth. Spend more money to get more money.
The more a brand grows = the more value does it have = the more shekels do you get for more growing

Just look at McDonalds, Google or even China.

It's a side effect of printing infinite money

its cheap af these boring machines not only dig but actually make the tunnel as they dig when its done the whole thing is done. fast smart cars that self drive down tunnels not populated by 1000x of obstacles makes it usable by the rich and important.

>Why build a giant network of crisscrossing tunnels just for individual cars
Because he makes and sells cars, you dumb faggot.

People just don't seem to realize that we've tried this...countless times. Costs and existing infrastructure make it impossible. By the way, here's Musk's predecessor 100 years ago for freight. Look how well it turned out.

>With the growing threat of nuclear war
Hey there Shareblue, don't you have something better too do

That was for freight, this is for people.
That was 1906, this is 2017.
Retarded comparison.

Because retarded Americans refuse to use public transportation. Tricking them into driving their Honda civics, that still has 30 payments still left, onto a conveyor belt, is the only way we're going to fix our commuting traffic problem that fucks up property values, school choice, and middle-class housing options and living standards.

I don't understand how this is supposed to be constructed. Almost all cities (not just in America, but throughout the world) were not constructed with this in mind, they were constructed with the intent of being fucking cities.

What happens when you start digging and you hit some 50 year old water pipe that wasn't documented, but was somehow supplying water to 100 people? What happens when another water pipe, or gas pipe for that matter, breaks and floods your entire tunnel?

The only solution to this problem that I can see is just... building a new city. I don't think Musk is going to fit this system into Los Angeles without being bogged down in regulations for the next 50 years.

alright fuck off, im not share blue you fucking retard, im a LA residents who just saw on the news they are starting to dig tunnels under my city for a stupid ass project that doesnt seem like a good idea. fuck off

It isn't profitable like his state funded electric cars and everything else. Except paypal, that was solid

this project is going to cost a shit load of money, how much will they charge people to have access? it will probably become irrelevant before they even make their money back.

I have no doubt this will all be a billion dollar boondoggle. But your question was "why make a roadway for cars instead of mass transport like a subway?"

And the answer is still "because he makes and sells cars," faggot.

>Elon Musk is a fucking meme.
He gets to play KSP for real.
Hardly a meme.

I'm sure you were saying the same thing when the Wright brothers started building a plane.

This is what happens when Silicon Valley 'think different' mentality tries to push itself into conventional industrial investment ventures...a lot of people with more money than brains, this kind of joke boutique investments are going to be the end of US technology

And what about pretty much every single commercial air transport company since the Wright Brothers created their plane? Just because something is possible does not mean it is a good idea economically.

Why would you trust anyone that names his company after a genius when hes not even close to Nikola

Elon Musk is a meme. He just found a way how to be a sleeze that gets billions of dollars of gibs from the government while being adored by the public. It doesnt matter if his ideas are good. He just has the enough public support that bureaucrats will shower him with funding for whatever he wants to do. He's going to crash and burn once people start realizing his whole brand is a scam. Can't wait until Jonny Depps ex cucks Elon out of everything he has

>why doesn't he build something people don't want that only poors in cities actually use instead of something that will be wildly profitable
you sure are stupid

>i'm worthless at calculating a 30-year investment so elon musk, billionaire entrepreneur, must be too

Literally spitballing Personal Rapid Transit, which is along with Tiny Housing and autopilot cars are the backbone of Agenda 21.

Guy's a fucking NWO stooge.
