The true Elon Musk fan would not say it is unsinkable as the boat glides below the waterline. They proclaim "Briliant, it isn't just unsinkable, it a submarine too"
The boat can also probably tranform into a submarine. And sinks to the deepest possible point and the pressure propepls it faster that two jets with the cost less than Aldi's paper bags. Im a fuckin genuis.
Buffet is full of super-fresh, renewable seafood and all the beers are nice and cold still! Now, excuse me, it is that time of the day where I roll out my prayer mat and give thanks to the one true White Paper!
They also refuse to consider the difference between "impossible" (works in theory, but would break the laws of physics or something in reality) and "impractical" (works in theory, and doesn't break the laws of physics, but is not viable in the real world).
I think Phil's overt arrogance is a major problem. The way to prove Elon wrong is to try to prove him right. Not to say "this is so hard!" If you try to prove Elon right and find out it just doesn't weigh out, you pretty quickly figure out he's selling promises and nothing else.
Please never stop calling out musk, no one else seems to actually question what he's saying and its frustrating af hearing intelligent people treat him with reverance. These videos are a breath of fresh air among all the bullshit.
The Titanic's design was sound, its sister ships Olympic and Britannic which were the same design had no issues, but you're right about Elon, lots of his ideas don't materialise, hoping you're proved wrong about his Twitter purchase though :)
There's definitely a handful youtubers debunking Musk. There's the Common Sense Sceptic, Some More News, Adam Something, the illuminaughty did a video on him. There are also some other lefttubers doing this kind of content. But other than that, there are not many, yeah.
Yup. Fun fact - regardless which power source you use, hauling a 2 tonne metal box just to transport 0.1 tonne of meat and bones inside isn't "green" regardless the propulsion method
On a lot of these presentations, Musk looks like he's actually making up things in his head. Costs, work rate, funding, benefits, comparisons to current ways of doing things etc.
"making up things in his head" - without any experience or knowledge. I mean, if someone who has experience andor knowledge in a particular field he or she can make up/predict some things about that particular field without these claims being completely ridiculous, e.g. you didn't have to be a genius virologist to predict how this pandemic could unfold but what Musk is doing is making up totally preposterous bs. His cult is basically just portraying the mainstream perception of science and this is highly unsettling. Musk is to science what Trump is to politics. The amalgamation of decades of bs and underfunded education.
yeah but it was a good investment because as he points out, the goal is to sell the same bricks in the future for 10 cents a piece. And then you just have to wait for Elon to invent one of those Tenet machines that let you reverse the flow of time and you'll get like a 2000% return...
@@Bridgeburner4477 Hey, there are brick collectors out there. But they do tend to want properly made historical bricks. Not green bricks off a brick press. Yup, we never got to see musks drying oven and kiln system for his bricks 😂. Yup, I used to work for a brick company. We had a half mile long tunnel kiln, huge piles of local quarried clay aging outside.. massive mixers, a lab to test the mix.. the whole lot. Who would have thought bricks could be made from randon spoil mixed with cement 😂😂👍
Most bricks don't cost more than 4 dollars and many bricks cost 25 cents lol. A billionaire really thinks his 10 cent brick plan will help the affordable housing crisis. If only he had a couple billion dollars to donate.
Hey but if you rent out a train cart to yourself, while the train carries hundreds-thousands of other people, it is technically “personalized mass transit”😂😂😂
The closest thing to "Personalised Mass Transit" are those electric scooters cluttering cities (they're still better than cars even if bothersome). A lot of people can use it to move from one point to another and they can choose where and when to go. At least in my city the system works pretty well. Some people even buy own e-scooters.

@@eddyram4932 Elon is one of those people thats just smart enough to make the average person believe hes a genius but when hes next to an actual genius he's immediately exposed.
I feel Apple set the stage for this sort of cultish behaviour. They marketed the idea that Jobs was a genius and that you too could share in that genius simply by pledging your unwavering brand loyalty (and by denying the existence of right clicks).
Meanwhile, jobs was a hype Man with mediocre engineering skills and wazniak got very little credit for designing and building the original apple product line
At least Apple delivered most of their ideas. And no, I'm not a Jobs fanboy. He was a nasty, narcissistic prick. The fact that he still compares favourably to Musk shows just how bad Musk is.
Having never lived in the 80's let alone as an adult in that era, I perceive it as the Decade that destroyed American IQs and created a corporate worship cult. I have never seen something from the 80's that doesn't seem tacky and Orwellian in some regard. It's something about the money in tech back before tech was even tech. Super creepy.

Haha, that whole "this is the only solution we can think of to congestion" is the perfect example of the inability to think outside one's class interests. When the only solution to the problem they can think of is one in which they can be ferried around inside their own little private boxes using an insanely inefficient system. As is his recent political shift, considering he and the Republicans have literally no common interests other than being spiteful towards any kind of worker organization. Reminds me of Disney and his weird communist paranoia.
@@Moist_yet_Crispy man holes are usually covered and when they aren't they have "lots" of warning and protection around it, the car elevator could only seal up the hole once the car have gotten low enough and in the mean time you have a large hole anyways, sure one could also add some automatic guardrail as well to it but this is already a complicated hot mess lol
As a construction worker hearing someone talk about using "dirt" and mixing it with "a little bit of concrete" to form bricks that could be used for housing, please no.
@@the_mowron that's what they're typically made from in part, yes, clay as well as a few other ingredients like lime and/or sand which are usually fired in a kiln. But not just your run of the mill dirt or spoiled earth you get from excavation which usually has a bunch of other material in it.
Someone should have mentioned that to the builders of Heirakonpolis, they worked for King Khasekhemwy in 2686 BCE and built the oldest unfired mud brick structure in the world, known as the Shunet-el-Zebib. Mud is wet dirt, both terms are inaccurate but I think you know that. remember there are three fractions in "dirt" The rammed earth technique is even older, you may know sections of the Great wall of China are constructed in this manner, many temples and Monasteries in Tibet and China are made with rammed earth, some 8000 yrs old. I've built several houses, some with IFC, stick framed houses are a complete joke, 100 years max for well built and well maintained units, 50 for those using osb in walls and floors- even with excellent maintenance- which most people do not undertake. Modern houses are a rip off and a scam.

@Elias Håkansson Well, you do understand that if you claim projects and deadlines that are never being accomplished, or if you steal decades old tunel designs and train designs claiming that are yours, is a little bit strange. At least you can acknowledge that.
@Elias Håkansson I get that feeling about both the boring company and the Hyperloop stuff. Luckily SpaceX and Tesla are able to plod along almost ignoring the crap Musk comes out with (I still wouldn’t invest in Tesla but I am not expecting it to actually fail. SpaceX is potentially in a trickier position Vis Musk’s claims and their aims are a lot more aspirational .
Every time I hear the phrase “rocket technology to build tunnels” I hear Fry and The Professor from futurama, as they crash and sink into the ocean. “How many atmospheres of pressure can we withstand?” “Well, it’s a spaceship, so somewhere between zero and one”
Like the Musk Cultist who proclaimed that Thunderfoot is too late. "We've already won", he says. I'd say to him flat-out "Who's this "we" you're referring to, Skippy? You're NOT one of Musk's "we" no matter how much you wish to tell yourself you are. And you haven't won a goddamn thing."
@@jamiewhalen5993 incorrect. Talk to any current or ex-SpaceX or Tesla employee and they will tell you Musk is an engineer’s engineer, intimately involved and deeply knowledgeable about most projects across the companies.

To be fair to the Titanic, it was quite well designed. It took two hours to sink and it went down on an even keel. Modern cruise ships with similar damage don’t seem to do that.
Cruise ships are giant barges that couldn't hope to survive the rough Atlantic. Plus they're top heavy condos with a mall slapped in the middle. But yeah the Titanic was quite a marvel of engineering along with the first in the class Olympic.
@@thesaltybeard1793 ive often said that about the titanic. If a modern cruise ship sank in the middle of the ocean there would be 95%+ casualties. If a ship doesn't sink on an even keel the lifeboats can't be launched. However the titanic only sank that way because the engine room crew gave their lives to run the pumps until the last minute to keep it level. Without their sacrifice it's likely titanic would've capsized and sank in less than an hour.
@@thesaltybeard1793 i think James Cameron remade the sinking scene for a special release in 2012 when it became evident that it didn't sink like he depicted. I remember seeing a special about that for the 100th anniversary of the sinking.
I really wish someone actually challenged Musk and his "space technology" with a question in the lines of :" Why not use tunnel technology to dig a tunnel?"
Or use tunnel technology to go to space? It's just buzzword like 'military grade' and 'aircraft aluminum.' If you've served in the military you'd know you wouldn't want something military grade. And, I seriously don't know where you can get aluminum that *isn't* aircraft grade unless it was forged from soda cans in someone's backyard.
@@jverz9430 cheapest bidder on all things. Military grade stuff is the worst. Half the time we would just walk around with our own civvies stuff because it worked reliably and weighed half as much.
@@InfernosReaper I remember way back around 2001, the army gave us a crash course on using their latest GPS. Thing was the size of a brick. Weighed about the same as one too. Had this absolutely terrible screen. My Corporal pulls out his civie version which was about the size of a Nokia 8210. Had this really bright, clear screen. The instructor dude says, yeah but that won't work when the US turns off the civilian GPS signal. Fair point but why couldn't the military version be similar to the civie one but also have the secret sauce to work when war breaks out.
also, isn't space technology the exact opposite of tunneling technology? one is dedicated to getting you underground, and the other is for getting you as far away from underground as possible
I think it's fascinating, that this is the richest guy on earth and somehow it seems like he can't afford basic media training. Instead he gets on a stage, seemingly unprepared and stumbles around like a grade schooler doing a book presentation of a book they never read. How am I supposed to take any of this man's "products" (most of which don't actually exist) serious?
Maybe thats why you should? Versus some well suit fit CEO with perfect delivery tricking the masses. Dude manages the most successful rocket company ever
@@1Snouser Why should I? Also, yes he's capable of "tricking the masses" but that's exactly the point thunderfoot is trying to make with these videos. His products are hyped up marketing garbage, not actually fulfilling most of the claims he's making. His rocket company really must be quite successfull if even their own CEO said they are at risk of bankruptcy if they continue to not make any progress on the development of their new engines and fired the vice president.
@@TheDr1Acula that's the thing, or that is Elon's thing and what makes him successful. He gives off the vibe of an autistic genius when it's actually the mask of a psychopath that knows how to appear like a socially inept brainiac. See comment above for example
It all adds the illusion of being honest. It makes it sheeple believe everything he says because it's not the normal polished turd company CEOs are normally pedalling.
@@1Snouser If they had stuck with Falcon Nine, ferrying supplies to the ISS, they would be the most successful rocket company ever (however just saying that isn't much considering the number of civilian owned space capable rocket companies in the world but I'll give you that) but this whole business of Starship and it's overblown mission to mars is going to sink the company. I think it will happen just as soon as Musk kills an entire crew when Starship's engine's fail to ignite to land. All rockets fail, it's a statistical fact, and when you are counting on those engines to stop you from slamming into the ground instead of landing you get dead crew members. There is a reason no one but cartoons and movies have landed manned rockets like that, and no the moon does not count the gravity there is lower and therefore it is a much easier (though still very dangerous) task to accomplish, though even there, when I have attempted to build something as tall and skinny as Starship and land it on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program it has more often than not topped over. The most basic landing craft stategy is a wide base and squat height so that you can more easily achieve (or even be guaranteed) balance. Musk is a snake oil salesman who preys on the minds of people who want the world to be star trek. He has delivered almost nothing he has ever promised and quite honestly he should be jailed for fraud.
I guess Musk will have to settle with being the richest man in the world, having sent people into space (the U.S would still be using Russian launches BTW if SpaceX didn't exist), designing the worlds best selling electric car and creating a trillion dollar car company out of nothing. But other than that... he hasn't done anything. Oh BTW... hows Thunderf00ts or your lifetime achievements going BTW? Oh wait... wait.. you don't have any.
@@overmind06 You didn't contradict any of my points made. He is the worlds richest person. FACT. NASA now uses SpaceX exclusively for human launches and they'd still be using Russian space agency for launches if SpaceX didn't exist. FACT. He turned a fledgling (and failing) project electric car maker into the worlds largest car company and sells the most electric vehicles in the world. FACT. You guys can't keep living in your own fantasy world, facts are facts and you have to deal with them.

@@porcus123 While musk's pseudo-subway will never succeed & could never meet existing safety laws... You'll find that specifically, the inability to open the exterior door during travel will not be the limiter. Actually most current accepted methods don't allow a user to open an exterior door during travel. Obviously, there's a big difference between that & not being able to evacuate in an emergency, which is the bigger issues here. Musk's problem is that even after a disaster, they still can't safely evacuate people. However, even that is pretty minor relative to the fact that nobody can survive any disaster, no matter how minimal. Yeah, musk is a lying scam artist. He has never come up with anything of his own. All he does is steal the work of others. So naturally, his bs won't come true. That said, the proof musk is an idiot, is that when deciding which ideas to steal, he stole the nonviable ones. We've known for ages how to do these things, that's why these ideas originally failed, in the 1st place. It's all the more absurd because we already have infinitely better ways to do this, without any of musk's stolen ideas.
@@no_rubbernecking "coup-de-grâce" I speak French. I can say _coup de grâce_ just fine. Why do I read it as _coop duh grass_ every time in an English context?

@@vantuz8264 , I agree with you that claiming employees work for your own, does not make you an engineer. While I would put Elon Musk in the 'bad boss' category, he does give credit to his employees and engineering partners from time to time. This no secret because it's from accounts in the 2015 biography on him by Ashlee Vance. He regularly breaks his own "don't be an asshole" rule. Regarding him being an engineer: A good source is a podcast on SpaceX called Business Wars. The story is about how he founded SpaceX based on technical "first principles" after trying to buy Russian rockets for an unmanned Mars mission. Many engineers don't really understand first principles because of the nature of the average engineering job of pushing paper. Thunderf00t, unfortunatly, left out some key achievements to prove his thesis.
@@KillroyX99 Elon and his associates and his fans lie about his input. The media peddle these lies for sales. He is not an enhineer. He only has a Bachelor of Arts in Physics. Not a Bachelors of Science. A Bachelors of Arts. And his coding was crappy against the industry standards. All Elon does is tweet all day and does interviews and order the smart people to make the intelligent decisions.
Can I just say that I once was a devoted Elon fan. But channel like you and Common Sense Skeptic have help me to open my eyes and see the utter crap that Elon says. I ask that you continue to make videos like this, because it is making a difference, and you are helping people wake up! Thank you!
Same. It also really shows just how much of a conman Elon Musk is. It's ironic he bought a company named Tesla... because the man is probably closer to a modern day Thomas Edison than a Tesla.
If you trust common sense Sceptic, you should open your eyes for once, as they are closed shut tight. 90% of what he does is uninformed rambling about anything what Musk said or is remotely related to him. 90% of BS amongst some real arguments. As if Musk never says anything that's true. I facepalmed when he said that Spacex engineers do not see a fatal flaw in Starship design - a common bulkhead of fuel and oxidizer tanks. Therefore it cannot possibly fly. Except it's how Falcon 9, Atlas-Centaur, Saturn II/III and many other rockets were made. Other of his BS usually is not so obvious for me on a first glance but totally fall apart after a bit of research. Thunderf00t is obsessed with Musk too to unhealthy level of bias but at least does not output unfiltered BS like CSS.
@@woopsserg oh right, I forgot I commented that, I've since renounced CSS and instead chose to do my own research only. I agree, he is very misleading, but still I agree with him about Musk, not entirely but I do think Elon is a conman who is yet to fall.
@@jobyy8754 I would not call him a con man. He is super optimistic, especially on timeline, oversells the things, has crazy ideas, trolls and posts stupid things on Twitter. However he gets things done, which I find the major merit. Comparing him to Elizabet Holmes of Theranos as Thunderf00t and other do is just nonsensical. She never delivered anything, nor had any chance to do so. For example take Crew dragon, done for 40% less money than Boeing has received for competing Starliner. Delivering crew to ISS for 2 years already and without problems. Starliner on other hand had two unmanned flights and first was close to destruction and ended prematurely as it was totally ridden with flaws. Second test flight had very serious hardware failures too. Not to say each Dragon flight is much cheaper too. I recall Phil claiming something like Spacex conning the government for $2.6 billion and not delivering on time but not mentioning Boeing received $4.2 billion for the same thing and not delivered 2 years later. Yes there is a cult of Musk followers but IMHO cult of haters is just as large if not larger.
Yeah, this is the same type of people who trust TV preachers that "they have direct connection with the god". It's cult and we want to be part of one. Elon is selling wonderland to the people - they consume that idea and it makes them feel better about themselves and their futures. Being a "true believer" is a powerful state of mind. Religion 3.0

"the tunnel will pay for itself" Brick: costs 200$ Color me unsuprised, you won't pay for hundreds of workers, heavy machinery use and maintenance and materials with 10 cents bricks.
You gotta hand it to Musk. He might be right. If every Musk fanboy pre-orders 100 bricks for $200/pop, he can just ship them all bags of loose dirt and they will all say "well, this is a good first step", and they will eagerly await the next pre-order opportunity.
I have read the biography by Ashlee Vance about Musk. From what I can conclude from it is that Musk was there at the right place and at the right time. He got involved in companies which are very capital intensive like Automotive (Tesla) and companies which were always considered the domain of governments (SpaceX). He doesn't have a deep knowledge about anything. He has got surface level knowledge in the areas he is involved in. Ashlee Vance documents in his book Musk's code was all over the place when he was trying to build zip2 and they had to hire professional computer coders to get the job done. As luck would have it he sold zip2 for a nice sum. Luck has played a crucial role in the success of Musk. He keeps pushing his luck by dreaming unreasonable projects like Hyperloop, Starlink, landing on Mars, highway tunnels etc. His luck will eventually run out this decade when people realize he is just a ruthless business man who is good at sales.
Well Tesla has provided some money and following, but they only produce but one car. Now we have mainstream manufacturers doing electric cars that don't look like something from a Lego toy set, and built with decades of automotive engineering experience to back them up. I can't wait to see how everything unfolds with all of Musk's businesses, especially the Starship.
@@_exxiff He has been lucky with Zip2 and Paypal. After that he had plenty of money he made by selling those companies. Sure let's say he got lucky with hostile take over of Tesla by booting real founders out and even got lucky with Spacex. However, both Tesla and Spacex is going to unfold this decade. Tesla cars needs massive amounts of raw materials to increase production and Spacex needs lot of cash to run. He himself admitted recently few months ago without Starlink Spacex will be bankrupt. Spacex cannot be kept afloat just with launch business alone.
Musk dismissed most of the stuff in the unauthorized biography by Vance. I am not defending Musk here, but authors of unauthorized biographies tend not to let facts/truths get in the way of a good story.
I really dont get why people hate public transport. Sure you are bound to a fixed plan and if you live in a rural area a car might be necessary, but if you live in or near a city public transport is the way. It might not be as flexible or comfortable as driving a car, but it is the best way we have to move a large amount of people in a city. And it makes cities way nicer
"This is the only way we can think of to tackle chronic traffic issues". Promote working from home where possible. There you go, traffic issue massively reduced.

Musk rarely talks intelligently- I don’t get it? Listen to his words- “Using rocket technology to make tunnels” WTF does rocket science have to do with boring engineering- placing rockets on the boring machine to force it forward faster? Makes no sense!

@@loturzelrestaurant oh the feminist shit? Damn that was awhile ago I forgot all about that. Yeah I don't care much for some of thunderfoots social takes but the science is solid.
I was raised in a cult and this group mentality: the vigilant defenders of some arbitrary/unquestionable truth and the sense of outside forces seeking to attack beliefs you're invested in, is disturbing to see. At a certain point in cults, the need for logic is bypassed and you basically defend the belief system because you have attached to it emotionally. An attack on the whole (or the leader) is felt as a personal attack. In recent years I have seen a rise of what I like to refer to as 'techno-cults' due to their interconnection with modern technology though the standard cult formula is largely intact. Qanon is another prime example. I wonder if this new form of cult formation is under study, if not it should be. It can be incredibly dangerous as was seen with the Capitol riots.
Yes, it's like buying a very expensive Tesla and then mocking the people who actually show the flaws in that car. Even defending the builders, when the reparability goes pooopie.
I had my suspicions they were culty. We have a lot of them in my small, rural Canadian town. They’re always knocking on doors and leaving pamphlets and whatnot.
Most of Road cost was the cost of the land tho, that is why in inner city Tube goes underground, while on places with cheaper land, Tube go over ground.
Oh my god, this man took credit for dirt bricks and literally sold them for $200 per brick! You know, dirt bricks, one of the oldest innovations, a thing we've been building with for thousands of years all around the world. And people bought it! People paid $200 for one Elon Musk dirt brick!

@@maximilian19931 what do you mean? Bricks are still used in all sorts of construction. There are bricklayers with RUclips channels making brand new brick content.
The issue I have with these videos is that Musk was never trying to achieve most of these things, he was trying to fleece people to raise his stock value. He's totally succeeded in that, for now at least
was chatting to a family member a while back who was lyrical about musk. I tried to point out that he's not all that and got a lot 'you don't understand, he's going to...', with out understanding my point that he hasn't yet, and the outlook is not rosey. I also told to please not trust 'autopilot'.
My friend visited me from interstate over xmas. He is totally down the Elon rabbit hole. i showed him a bunch of videos debunking EM and I saw the dawning realisation on my friends face that he was being sucked into the bullshit. When I put Elon Musk into my RUclips search bar (at my friends request), the videos that came up were fairly balanced between being positive and negative toward EM. His youtube search was all positive toward EM. He has been seduced using the algorithm and I'll bet Elon's company uses more knowledge of the algorithm RUclips uses to get funding than they do actual science.
Actually. I'm pretty sure the way he avoids taxes is by keeping his assets in the stock market. His wage would be negligible in comparison to the 200 billion in assets he doesn't pay taxes on.
He doesn't pay any taxes because he doesn't have wages so he is technically "unemployed", the only time he pay them is when he was forced to sell his stock before they expire, even then he bitch and moan about it on twitter. Elon like any rich people out there, leverages their stocks and took up loans to pay for their expenses. Basically using your bank savings to buy stuff.
9:20 Well I would not be so sure about that one unless they sell it as a souvenir. I am an undergraduate student of Civil Engineering, this year only I was studying the properties of fibre based concrete mixtures with glass wool fibres which is a byproduct from disposed insulation materials. The results were positive because of the load bearing and binding properties of the fibres compared to ordinary concrete and some pozzolanic properties of silica. However the catch is, the collection, segregation, treatment, pulverization and figuring out the appropriate mix proportions (depending on type of concrete mixture, since workability of concrete becomes very low at higher concentrations of fibre admixture and the samples just crumble apart) makes the project about 20% more expensive for a cubic metre of concrete sample. In mass concreting projects it could be feasible as a recycling method, but since those projects are often provided to "SUITABLE BIDDERS", I am certain contractors won't be too pleased if the "RECYCLED" bricks are significantly more expensive than normal concrete based ones. So unless the cost of volume of debris removed from tunnel is worth the same volume of standard bricks, the entire comment is pretty pointless.
@@grahvis yes sir, I agree with you, that is one issue which is generally dealt with "SEGREGATION" of industrial refuse before recycling, to figure out which batch of material goes where (if it is suitable that is, for example in my experiment, I could not use fibres which have been subjected to acidic conditions since it might as well start reacting with lime in concrete). In one project near my place, a green building (Eurocode compliant to the highest standards) could not incorporate about 70% solids into recycled products. I really don't understand why people ended up paying 200USD for a brick, preparation of concrete structures using solid aggregates from soil strata has been a thing for quite some time. Seems like with a good enough marketing people pay for literally anything in 2022. Hope you have a nice day sir 🙂.

Here's an amazing solution to trafic problems and significantly reducing fostil fuel and rare earth battery usage... Trolly busses. Once you have the cables installed, their cheaper to make than a regular bus, let alone a batery bus. You don't need super expensive exotic batteries that need to be replaced semi regularly and installing a small battery will alow them to navigate detours. And hey, to make them futuristicey, we can just jazz them up stylistically and call them pods. (that happen to be bus sized)
That doesn't work in most places in North America. Most people live way to far from most places for that to be feasible. Unfortunate fact about north America is just how big it is. Suburban people would never have access to public transportation, the countries are just too large for that.
Every time I see a Musk presentation I have the impression that he's making it up as he goes along, with anxious staff listening in, worrying as he cooks up yet another idea that they then have to deliver..
I think they’re used to not having to even meet his ridiculous made-up BS anymore. Failure after failure, staged demonstrations and moving the goalposts is just SOP for him. He’ll come up with some other BS to fund the next ponzai, largely using public funds.
It’s surprising how badly Elon speaks publicly. No one seems to comment on this. He stutters, he pauses and hesitates. Really seems like he’s making shit up as he goes in most of these interviews. I know he’s not. It might just be he doesn’t believe anything he’s saying. I know it’s technically ad hominem, so most people debunking him want to stray away from fallacies.
"It's so easy why's noone done it" and then he waits on college kids for 9 months to... "design" ??? a pod?? How hard is hooking up batteries to a motor to some wheels man.
California won’t even allow use of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks in earthquake zones, and although those are largely air they’re relatively strong. Elon’s spoil bricks wouldn’t have been anywhere near as strong.
Also, why does he act like re-using dug-out material in concrete is some revolutionary new idea? Not for stupid bricks but the concrete lining of the dub-out tunnel itself, most long tunnels built in the Alps in the last two decades and presently re-use a lot of the dug-out material. For example, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (the world's longest rail tunnel, TBMs were in use from 2002 to 2011) or the Brenner Base Tunnel (similar length, still in the works).

So wait, the bricks were made by compressing dirt, but not treating it with any kind of sealant or baking it...? So what happens when it rains??? If it's not treated or cured in any way then it's just a shaped clump of dirt which will turn into mud if wet.

1:55 this is actually one of the few things that would have made sense. A metal-wheeled vehicle on rails is much more durable and efficient than a rubber-wheeled vehicle on a road. Of course, if you’re looking to have a metal-wheeled rail vehicle doing public transportation in tunnels, most of the world calls that a “subway”
Steel wheels are not actually the big deal in energy efficiency that you may think. Rolling resistance is only responsible for about 15% of the energy usage of a vehicle compared to wind resistance, fuel/energy conversion losses, mechanical losses and overcoming inertia when accelerating which account for a massive 85% of the energy usage of a car. You’re probably getting confused by the fact that ICE cars are less energy efficient than trains (which they are) and thinking that also applies to EVs (which it doesn’t). The average energy efficiency of trains is dragged down by big heavy trains moving small numbers of people off-peak as well as having to start and stop at every station on the line. That is why the Loop EVs use less power than any heavy or light rail transit system globally. Average Wh per passenger-mile: - Loop Tesla Model Y (4 passengers) = 80.9 - Loop Tesla Model Y (2.4 passengers) = 141.5 - Metro Average (Hong Kong/Singapore) = 151 - Metro Average (Europe) = 187 - Heavy Rail Average (US) = 408.6 - Streetcar Average (US) = 481 - Light Rail Average (US) = 510.4 Sources: EPA and Federal Transit Administration 2019 National Transit Database In fact, low friction wheels are actually a disadvantage for the steel wheels of trains as it causes far worse traction, braking and hill climbing.
@@andrewfranklin4429 Sounds like what we need to do is accelerate each passenger up to train speed and them chuck them on board as the train passes through the station. Trust me, it isn't really that hard. And for those wishing to disembark - elastic catch nets. In fact, my passenger accelerator might be big elastic bands but I am still working on that. But I am sure it will not be that hard.
@@Hereford1642 :-) Subway trains only average 17mph with a maximum of around 50mph whereas the Loop EVs will average 60mph and have already demonstrated top speeds of 127mph down the 1.14 mile TBC tunnel in Hawthorne California. Why would you want the Loop to slow down to subway train speeds (with or without rubber bands heh)?
Ah yes, the clip of the goon at the very end of the video. He featured in last weeks video, where he attempted to pull TF apart because of a wiggly line on a map. I wonder if we could revisit this in a years time, or 2 or 5 years maybe, and see what the goon has to say then.
I have been hearing the full self driving car pushed back year by year ,everytime he managed to hype the thing up without actually truly delivered it,I'm so sick of it
I know how to solve the world’s traffic issue with no infrastructure needed. If everyone that is currently commuting to work was able to be remote, it would reduce tons of traffic in large cities. This will also reduce the daily carbon footprint in our society.
Yes, and install better public transport so that people can be given the option to not have to drive if they don't want to. Cars don't get stuck in traffic; cars ARE traffic.
Just one question: Why is he planning a large hyperloop station at an airport? Surely his hyperloop would replace airplanes. I thought it was going to take you under the Atlantic ocean and so on, and of course the existence of plate boundaries and stuff would be magically overcome with the magical rocket technology.
@@DarkZerol I get that. Obviously I don't believe it, but that is a separate issue. My problem is that once hyperloops have solved all the transportation problems, we presumably won't need airports any more, because they would be replaced with hyperloops. Why then would there be a major interchange station at an airport? Surely they airport would be repurposed for some other use? In fact, why would we need interchange stations at all if they can do point to point between any two locations on the planet?
You're getting confused between the Vegas loop and the HyperLoop when they are completely different technologies. The HyperLoop is all about capsules travelling in a near-vacuum tube between cities at speeds of 760mph (1,220kph). Musk previously said he was too busy to develop the HyperLoop concept himself so open-sourced the idea and left it for others like Virgin HyperLoop to commercialise or do with as they wish, but has recently indicated that he'll start TBC will start working on the concept thewmselves. The Vegas Loop topology in contrast involves wheeled EVs within a city travelling at speeds up to 150mph (240kph). I guess the word “Loop” in both technologies can be confusing.
@@andrewfranklin4429 No, I am not getting confused. Hyperloop is supposed to be faster than airplanes due to it being in a vacuum, so why would you take the fast hyperloop for a local journey to the airport then take a slower airplane for the long distance leg of the journey?
Someone needs to point out that you only need to go straight up from where you are 50,000 feet to get into a partial vacuum. For a long trip, nobody is going to even notice the extra 20 miles needed to take advantage of that vacuum. Airfoils on the sides of the pods could easily keep the pods up in this vacuum. The propulsion could be done using turbines. I call this hyperpods.
I love how Elon is so optimistic that somehow one can simply just dig up any dirt and sand we find to make bricks for next to nothing then sell them to others.
Musk _is_ actually mentally challenged in some fashion, so that's really no surprise. I'm not going to say he shouldn't be humiliated for something he can't help, though, because he's hardly some innocent person.
This channel is really helping me become a lot more critical of what I hear from Mr. musk. I still love his optimism and how he pushes things but oh my God you’re so right there are so many obvious failures when you look back at them. I always knew that he overpromise by an insane amount. However I was normally thinking well but they will get there in X number of years after his initial date. But now I am not so generous in my thinking about him always hitting these crazy goals

I read recently that Musk was developing a plan to build a tunnel to space and connect it to his underground tunnel system, thereby solving the vacuum issue :P
Don't forget the solar panels would be more efficient in space. They would use solar flares and the Van Allen belt to move eolic generators. Truly a maverick enterpreneur.
Remember when he had Tesla pay 2.2 billion $ to purchase Solar City (which I believe was majority owned by his cousins at the time) because merging the two companies was a "no brainer"? That turned out well. For his cousins.
They say stuff that people like hearing - it'll cost you a dollar - but it's almost as though they don't realize that, typically, things cost what they cost because of all sorts of factors, but something that is particularly important to something like PUBLIC TRANSPORT is the cost to SUPPORT THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT. Maintenance of the system and operation of the system x.x Unless the company eats the cost, the cost is passed off, as-feasibly-as-possible, on the users of the system. In any case, someone, somewhere, somehow, is funding that system... because it must be funded. Who? Where? How? WHY?! It's one thing if a multi-faceted mega-corp funds one thing with another wonderfully successful and profitable thing - I don't know how often that happens or if it happens at all - but outside of something obvious like that, I would honestly question and worry about a company not charging enough for use of their highly technical and advanced public transit system because, again, outside of mysterious exterior funding, it would translate into VERY OBVIOUS results on *your* end of the system. If employees aren't paid enough, it will show there in high turn-over, poor training or no training, terrible moods and engagement, etc. If there is no money or not enough money for maintenance then vehicles and infrastructure are going to wear down, tools are going to be in short-supply or wear out themselves and then replacing equipment or vehicles or expanding the system is going to suffer, too.

I think Phil's overt arrogance is a major problem. The way to prove Elon wrong is to try to prove him right. Not to say "this is so hard!"

"making up things in his head" - without any experience or knowledge.
I mean, if someone who has experience andor knowledge in a particular field he or she can make up/predict some things about that particular field without these claims being completely ridiculous, e.g. you didn't have to be a genius virologist to predict how this pandemic could unfold but what Musk is doing is making up totally preposterous bs.

It's just buzzword like 'military grade' and 'aircraft aluminum.' If you've served in the military you'd know you wouldn't want something military grade. And, I seriously don't know where you can get aluminum that *isn't* aircraft grade unless it was forged from soda cans in someone's backyard.

Fair point but why couldn't the military version be similar to the civie one but also have the secret sauce to work when war breaks out.

Instead he gets on a stage, seemingly unprepared and stumbles around like a grade schooler doing a book presentation of a book they never read. How am I supposed to take any of this man's "products" (most of which don't actually exist) serious?
Maybe thats why you should? Versus some well suit fit CEO with perfect delivery tricking the masses. Dude manages the most successful rocket company ever
@@1Snouser Why should I? Also, yes he's capable of "tricking the masses" but that's exactly the point thunderfoot is trying to make with these videos. His products are hyped up marketing garbage, not actually fulfilling most of the claims he's making. His rocket company really must be quite successfull if even their own CEO said they are at risk of bankruptcy if they continue to not make any progress on the development of their new engines and fired the vice president.
@@TheDr1Acula that's the thing, or that is Elon's thing and what makes him successful. He gives off the vibe of an autistic genius when it's actually the mask of a psychopath that knows how to appear like a socially inept brainiac. See comment above for example
It all adds the illusion of being honest. It makes it sheeple believe everything he says because it's not the normal polished turd company CEOs are normally pedalling.
@@1Snouser If they had stuck with Falcon Nine, ferrying supplies to the ISS, they would be the most successful rocket company ever (however just saying that isn't much considering the number of civilian owned space capable rocket companies in the world but I'll give you that) but this whole business of Starship and it's overblown mission to mars is going to sink the company.
I think it will happen just as soon as Musk kills an entire crew when Starship's engine's fail to ignite to land. All rockets fail, it's a statistical fact, and when you are counting on those engines to stop you from slamming into the ground instead of landing you get dead crew members. There is a reason no one but cartoons and movies have landed manned rockets like that, and no the moon does not count the gravity there is lower and therefore it is a much easier (though still very dangerous) task to accomplish, though even there, when I have attempted to build something as tall and skinny as Starship and land it on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program it has more often than not topped over. The most basic landing craft stategy is a wide base and squat height so that you can more easily achieve (or even be guaranteed) balance.
Musk is a snake oil salesman who preys on the minds of people who want the world to be star trek. He has delivered almost nothing he has ever promised and quite honestly he should be jailed for fraud.
"This man is incredible" - in the literal meaning of the word "cannot be believed"
Hey, wanna go grab a hotdog?.. actually nevermind, i'll go alone.

I guess Musk will have to settle with being the richest man in the world, having sent people into space (the U.S would still be using Russian launches BTW if SpaceX didn't exist), designing the worlds best selling electric car and creating a trillion dollar car company out of nothing.
But other than that... he hasn't done anything. Oh BTW... hows Thunderf00ts or your lifetime achievements going BTW? Oh wait... wait.. you don't have any.

You mentioning "Death Trap" got me thinking, how German policies for fire-safety exits regarding tunnels for cars would have screwed this project.
I think this project would be nailed as soon as the fire inspector tried to open the door while inside the tunnel
No worries, even as bad as the USA is, even their absurd lax inadequate safety regulations will never let this exist in real life.

@@porcus123
While musk's pseudo-subway will never succeed & could never meet existing safety laws...
You'll find that specifically, the inability to open the exterior door during travel will not be the limiter. Actually most current accepted methods don't allow a user to open an exterior door during travel.
Obviously, there's a big difference between that & not being able to evacuate in an emergency, which is the bigger issues here.
Musk's problem is that even after a disaster, they still can't safely evacuate people. However, even that is pretty minor relative to the fact that nobody can survive any disaster, no matter how minimal.
Yeah, musk is a lying scam artist. He has never come up with anything of his own. All he does is steal the work of others. So naturally, his bs won't come true.
That said, the proof musk is an idiot, is that when deciding which ideas to steal, he stole the nonviable ones. We've known for ages how to do these things, that's why these ideas originally failed, in the 1st place.
It's all the more absurd because we already have infinitely better ways to do this, without any of musk's stolen ideas.

@@KillroyX99 Being pretty good at claiming the employed engineers' achievements doesn't make him an engineer.
@@vantuz8264 , I agree with you that claiming employees work for your own, does not make you an engineer.
While I would put Elon Musk in the 'bad boss' category, he does give credit to his employees and engineering partners from time to time. This no secret because it's from accounts in the 2015 biography on him by Ashlee Vance. He regularly breaks his own "don't be an asshole" rule.
Regarding him being an engineer: A good source is a podcast on SpaceX called Business Wars. The story is about how he founded SpaceX based on technical "first principles" after trying to buy Russian rockets for an unmanned Mars mission. Many engineers don't really understand first principles because of the nature of the average engineering job of pushing paper. Thunderf00t, unfortunatly, left out some key achievements to prove his thesis.
And he's also the owner of Twitter.
@@KillroyX99 Elon and his associates and his fans lie about his input. The media peddle these lies for sales. He is not an enhineer. He only has a Bachelor of Arts in Physics. Not a Bachelors of Science. A Bachelors of Arts. And his coding was crappy against the industry standards.
All Elon does is tweet all day and does interviews and order the smart people to make the intelligent decisions.
Can I just say that I once was a devoted Elon fan. But channel like you and Common Sense Skeptic have help me to open my eyes and see the utter crap that Elon says. I ask that you continue to make videos like this, because it is making a difference, and you are helping people wake up!
Thank you!
Same. It also really shows just how much of a conman Elon Musk is. It's ironic he bought a company named Tesla... because the man is probably closer to a modern day Thomas Edison than a Tesla.
Congratulations on your sobriety. Never do drugs again.
If you trust common sense Sceptic, you should open your eyes for once, as they are closed shut tight. 90% of what he does is uninformed rambling about anything what Musk said or is remotely related to him. 90% of BS amongst some real arguments. As if Musk never says anything that's true. I facepalmed when he said that Spacex engineers do not see a fatal flaw in Starship design - a common bulkhead of fuel and oxidizer tanks. Therefore it cannot possibly fly. Except it's how Falcon 9, Atlas-Centaur, Saturn II/III and many other rockets were made. Other of his BS usually is not so obvious for me on a first glance but totally fall apart after a bit of research. Thunderf00t is obsessed with Musk too to unhealthy level of bias but at least does not output unfiltered BS like CSS.
@@woopsserg oh right, I forgot I commented that, I've since renounced CSS and instead chose to do my own research only. I agree, he is very misleading, but still I agree with him about Musk, not entirely but I do think Elon is a conman who is yet to fall.
@@jobyy8754 I would not call him a con man. He is super optimistic, especially on timeline, oversells the things, has crazy ideas, trolls and posts stupid things on Twitter. However he gets things done, which I find the major merit. Comparing him to Elizabet Holmes of Theranos as Thunderf00t and other do is just nonsensical. She never delivered anything, nor had any chance to do so. For example take Crew dragon, done for 40% less money than Boeing has received for competing Starliner. Delivering crew to ISS for 2 years already and without problems. Starliner on other hand had two unmanned flights and first was close to destruction and ended prematurely as it was totally ridden with flaws. Second test flight had very serious hardware failures too. Not to say each Dragon flight is much cheaper too. I recall Phil claiming something like Spacex conning the government for $2.6 billion and not delivering on time but not mentioning Boeing received $4.2 billion for the same thing and not delivered 2 years later. Yes there is a cult of Musk followers but IMHO cult of haters is just as large if not larger.
I've got to the point in life where I've literally gave up on the human race as a whole collective so now musk fans don't bother me as much
Same lol
Yeah, this is the same type of people who trust TV preachers that "they have direct connection with the god". It's cult and we want to be part of one. Elon is selling wonderland to the people - they consume that idea and it makes them feel better about themselves and their futures. Being a "true believer" is a powerful state of mind. Religion 3.0

I have read the biography by Ashlee Vance about Musk. From what I can conclude from it is that Musk was there at the right place and at the right time. He got involved in companies which are very capital intensive like Automotive (Tesla) and companies which were always considered the domain of governments (SpaceX). He doesn't have a deep knowledge about anything. He has got surface level knowledge in the areas he is involved in. Ashlee Vance documents in his book Musk's code was all over the place when he was trying to build zip2 and they had to hire professional computer coders to get the job done. As luck would have it he sold zip2 for a nice sum. Luck has played a crucial role in the success of Musk. He keeps pushing his luck by dreaming unreasonable projects like Hyperloop, Starlink, landing on Mars, highway tunnels etc. His luck will eventually run out this decade when people realize he is just a ruthless business man who is good at sales.
Well Tesla has provided some money and following, but they only produce but one car. Now we have mainstream manufacturers doing electric cars that don't look like something from a Lego toy set, and built with decades of automotive engineering experience to back them up. I can't wait to see how everything unfolds with all of Musk's businesses, especially the Starship.
You can stop calling it luck after the 5th time
@@_exxiff He has been lucky with Zip2 and Paypal. After that he had plenty of money he made by selling those companies. Sure let's say he got lucky with hostile take over of Tesla by booting real founders out and even got lucky with Spacex. However, both Tesla and Spacex is going to unfold this decade. Tesla cars needs massive amounts of raw materials to increase production and Spacex needs lot of cash to run. He himself admitted recently few months ago without Starlink Spacex will be bankrupt. Spacex cannot be kept afloat just with launch business alone.
@@_exxiff 5th time?
Musk dismissed most of the stuff in the unauthorized biography by Vance. I am not defending Musk here, but authors of unauthorized biographies tend not to let facts/truths get in the way of a good story.
I really dont get why people hate public transport. Sure you are bound to a fixed plan and if you live in a rural area a car might be necessary, but if you live in or near a city public transport is the way. It might not be as flexible or comfortable as driving a car, but it is the best way we have to move a large amount of people in a city. And it makes cities way nicer

I was raised in a cult and this group mentality: the vigilant defenders of some arbitrary/unquestionable truth and the sense of outside forces seeking to attack beliefs you're invested in, is disturbing to see. At a certain point in cults, the need for logic is bypassed and you basically defend the belief system because you have attached to it emotionally. An attack on the whole (or the leader) is felt as a personal attack. In recent years I have seen a rise of what I like to refer to as 'techno-cults' due to their interconnection with modern technology though the standard cult formula is largely intact. Qanon is another prime example. I wonder if this new form of cult formation is under study, if not it should be. It can be incredibly dangerous as was seen with the Capitol riots.

"Most people don't realise that Elon doesn't even draw a wage".

He paid the most taxes by an individual this year of all time... More fake Elizabeth Warren (Pocahontas) propaganda

9:20 Well I would not be so sure about that one unless they sell it as a souvenir. I am an undergraduate student of Civil Engineering, this year only I was studying the properties of fibre based concrete mixtures with glass wool fibres which is a byproduct from disposed insulation materials. The results were positive because of the load bearing and binding properties of the fibres compared to ordinary concrete and some pozzolanic properties of silica.
However the catch is, the collection, segregation, treatment, pulverization and figuring out the appropriate mix proportions (depending on type of concrete mixture, since workability of concrete becomes very low at higher concentrations of fibre admixture and the samples just crumble apart) makes the project about 20% more expensive for a cubic metre of concrete sample.
In mass concreting projects it could be feasible as a recycling method, but since those projects are often provided to "SUITABLE BIDDERS", I am certain contractors won't be too pleased if the "RECYCLED" bricks are significantly more expensive than normal concrete based ones. So unless the cost of volume of debris removed from tunnel is worth the same volume of standard bricks, the entire comment is pretty pointless.
There is the minor problem that the spoil from the tunnels will vary widely in composition.
@@grahvis yes sir, I agree with you, that is one issue which is generally dealt with "SEGREGATION" of industrial refuse before recycling, to figure out which batch of material goes where (if it is suitable that is, for example in my experiment, I could not use fibres which have been subjected to acidic conditions since it might as well start reacting with lime in concrete). In one project near my place, a green building (Eurocode compliant to the highest standards) could not incorporate about 70% solids into recycled products.
I really don't understand why people ended up paying 200USD for a brick, preparation of concrete structures using solid aggregates from soil strata has been a thing for quite some time. Seems like with a good enough marketing people pay for literally anything in 2022.
Hope you have a nice day sir 🙂.

He stutters, he pauses and hesitates.

California won’t even allow use of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks in earthquake zones, and although those are largely air they’re relatively strong. Elon’s spoil bricks wouldn’t have been anywhere near as strong.
I am with California on this one.
Also, why does he act like re-using dug-out material in concrete is some revolutionary new idea? Not for stupid bricks but the concrete lining of the dub-out tunnel itself, most long tunnels built in the Alps in the last two decades and presently re-use a lot of the dug-out material. For example, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (the world's longest rail tunnel, TBMs were in use from 2002 to 2011) or the Brenner Base Tunnel (similar length, still in the works).

The ad hominems at the end are truly beautiful 😂 And the irony is that his final argument is, that they've already won. I had such mixed emotions of cringe and pity for the person and joy of remembering the pidgeon playing chess joke, irony and lack of self awareness that it may have broken my brain.
What "rocket technology" can be used in boring / building tunnels?
1:55 this is actually one of the few things that would have made sense. A metal-wheeled vehicle on rails is much more durable and efficient than a rubber-wheeled vehicle on a road.
Of course, if you’re looking to have a metal-wheeled rail vehicle doing public transportation in tunnels, most of the world calls that a “subway”
Steel wheels are not actually the big deal in energy efficiency that you may think. Rolling resistance is only responsible for about 15% of the energy usage of a vehicle compared to wind resistance, fuel/energy conversion losses, mechanical losses and overcoming inertia when accelerating which account for a massive 85% of the energy usage of a car.
You’re probably getting confused by the fact that ICE cars are less energy efficient than trains (which they are) and thinking that also applies to EVs (which it doesn’t).
The average energy efficiency of trains is dragged down by big heavy trains moving small numbers of people off-peak as well as having to start and stop at every station on the line. That is why the Loop EVs use less power than any heavy or light rail transit system globally.
Average Wh per passenger-mile:
- Loop Tesla Model Y (4 passengers) = 80.9
- Loop Tesla Model Y (2.4 passengers) = 141.5
- Metro Average (Hong Kong/Singapore) = 151
- Metro Average (Europe) = 187
- Heavy Rail Average (US) = 408.6
- Streetcar Average (US) = 481
- Light Rail Average (US) = 510.4
Sources: EPA and Federal Transit Administration 2019 National Transit Database
In fact, low friction wheels are actually a disadvantage for the steel wheels of trains as it causes far worse traction, braking and hill climbing.
In that video it kinda looks like their plan was to use rubber tires with a metal guideway
@@Grackus the guideway was an early experiment with the Loop. They got rid of it when they realised it wasn’t needed.
@@andrewfranklin4429 Sounds like what we need to do is accelerate each passenger up to train speed and them chuck them on board as the train passes through the station. Trust me, it isn't really that hard. And for those wishing to disembark - elastic catch nets. In fact, my passenger accelerator might be big elastic bands but I am still working on that. But I am sure it will not be that hard.
@@Hereford1642 :-) Subway trains only average 17mph with a maximum of around 50mph whereas the Loop EVs will average 60mph and have already demonstrated top speeds of 127mph down the 1.14 mile TBC tunnel in Hawthorne California.
Why would you want the Loop to slow down to subway train speeds (with or without rubber bands heh)?
Let’s build a metro but worse in every possible way and call it innovative!
It's hilarious to me that somebody would call a professional physical chemist a loser.
Ah yes, the clip of the goon at the very end of the video. He featured in last weeks video, where he attempted to pull TF apart because of a wiggly line on a map. I wonder if we could revisit this in a years time, or 2 or 5 years maybe, and see what the goon has to say then.
Yeh, he's not projecting at all.
I have been hearing the full self driving car pushed back year by year ,everytime he managed to hype the thing up without actually truly delivered it,I'm so sick of it
I know how to solve the world’s traffic issue with no infrastructure needed. If everyone that is currently commuting to work was able to be remote, it would reduce tons of traffic in large cities.
This will also reduce the daily carbon footprint in our society.
Yes, and install better public transport so that people can be given the option to not have to drive if they don't want to.
Cars don't get stuck in traffic; cars ARE traffic.
Elon forgot to mention that the hyper loop also runs on electrolytes.
they're what hyperloops crave
I'm pretty sure that's killing the crops.
@@RK-252 no it's what plants crave
Just one question: Why is he planning a large hyperloop station at an airport? Surely his hyperloop would replace airplanes. I thought it was going to take you under the Atlantic ocean and so on, and of course the existence of plate boundaries and stuff would be magically overcome with the magical rocket technology.
Didn't you hear? According to Elon the genius, building tunnels and hyperloop will solve all our transportation, traffic and congestion problems.
@@DarkZerol I get that. Obviously I don't believe it, but that is a separate issue.
My problem is that once hyperloops have solved all the transportation problems, we presumably won't need airports any more, because they would be replaced with hyperloops. Why then would there be a major interchange station at an airport? Surely they airport would be repurposed for some other use? In fact, why would we need interchange stations at all if they can do point to point between any two locations on the planet?
@R D I think she was too hahah
You're getting confused between the Vegas loop and the HyperLoop when they are completely different technologies. The HyperLoop is all about capsules travelling in a near-vacuum tube between cities at speeds of 760mph (1,220kph).
Musk previously said he was too busy to develop the HyperLoop concept himself so open-sourced the idea and left it for others like Virgin HyperLoop to commercialise or do with as they wish, but has recently indicated that he'll start TBC will start working on the concept thewmselves.
The Vegas Loop topology in contrast involves wheeled EVs within a city travelling at speeds up to 150mph (240kph).
I guess the word “Loop” in both technologies can be confusing.
@@andrewfranklin4429 No, I am not getting confused. Hyperloop is supposed to be faster than airplanes due to it being in a vacuum, so why would you take the fast hyperloop for a local journey to the airport then take a slower airplane for the long distance leg of the journey?
Someone needs to point out that you only need to go straight up from where you are 50,000 feet to get into a partial vacuum. For a long trip, nobody is going to even notice the extra 20 miles needed to take advantage of that vacuum. Airfoils on the sides of the pods could easily keep the pods up in this vacuum. The propulsion could be done using turbines. I call this hyperpods.
Lmfao 🤣 😂
The Boring Company is...boring. full of musk lies and spin.
Elon Musk can do anything 10x faster at 1/10th the price all by next year.

It's just sad that someone this inept has been able to promise so much and deliver so little has managed to become the wealthiest person in the world.
He's apt at getting money from the government. I'd be a billionaire too if I were getting billions of dollars from the government.
Where he fails to deliver his followers aren't on the receiving end of the stick.

Hey maybe read some econ books, the economy isn't a zero sum game.
Tunnels under tunnels, a hundred levels deep. No one does that because it's not necessary and it's cost prohibited. Mr. Genius. Just word salad.
Wouldn't even trust him to make bricks. Guy thinks any dirt will make the highest quality bricks
Nonsense
I love how Elon is so optimistic that somehow one can simply just dig up any dirt and sand we find to make bricks for next to nothing then sell them to others.
I love how he's always half-absent and looks swollen up from the "performance enhancing" drugs he's swallowing.
Musk _is_ actually mentally challenged in some fashion, so that's really no surprise. I'm not going to say he shouldn't be humiliated for something he can't help, though, because he's hardly some innocent person.
Yeah, dude is wasting away, you can tell.
😂
Come on guys... He's "not wasting away".. his body is fuelling the FUTCHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
He's like Cartman,, he's getting all "buff".
Cali just approved driverless automobiles. It wasn't the TEsla, it was the Chevy Bolt.
LMAO! Elon proves his incompetence yet again!
There has to come a point where making those ridiculous claims is actual fraud.
That point is far, far in the past. A lot of Musk's wealth stems from him committing fraud. He's a pump-and-dump professional.
No? Why. You're the fool willing to listen yo ridiculous claims. How is that fraud?
When people start losing money.
This channel is really helping me become a lot more critical of what I hear from Mr. musk. I still love his optimism and how he pushes things but oh my God you’re so right there are so many obvious failures when you look back at them. I always knew that he overpromise by an insane amount. However I was normally thinking well but they will get there in X number of years after his initial date. But now I am not so generous in my thinking about him always hitting these crazy goals
What part about Elon Musk's "unsinkable ship" sinking that didn't you get?
Over promising = Lying?
Optimism = Sales pitch?
@Jon Kroeker: Babe...to be filthy rich means the banks will loan you ANY amount. A hyped image isn't JUST for personal acclaim...bank indebtedness is often the basis of their wealth. You think these guys PAY CASH?? And, sadly, banks are run by people...who are as gullible as ANY of us.
These days...how rich you are means how much money you can borrow. It's a WHOLE lot easier to borrow $2 billion than $20,000. Weird but true. Yet..that is now what you are credited AS OWNING. Rather like you "own" your house. BUT YOU DON'T actually own your house...the bank does. You own the right to make payments. SAME SAME.
His optimism though is his product. He sells people the dream of the future.
@@MrMarinus18 I grew up with Scifi comics and literature from the beginning (or at least did some fast forward). Yes, some things would be prophetic...but in every case there was science behind them, though maybe a little bent. New directions ARE ROADS not taken previously...
But babe...Musk's UTUBE videos are self generated and edited. Which should scare ANNYONE as to why?? UNTIL Twitter ownership, and media power, gave us the answer...
But the science for MUCH of his claims...is ALREADY OUT THERE. And make MUCH of what he is saying...nonsense for fan boys...who look at Musk, now as THE GREAT WHITE HOPE FOR HIS SPECIES...SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS PR.
HYPE WORKS. But babe...when you base your life and decisions on.. FANTASY...YOU ARE UTTERLY SCREWED...and playing...someone ELSE'S GAME...
"I invented spoons!". No you didn't, Elon. No you didn't.
Musk logic is to invent something is to invent it. I hear he has now invented Twitter
I read recently that Musk was developing a plan to build a tunnel to space and connect it to his underground tunnel system, thereby solving the vacuum issue :P
Don't forget the solar panels would be more efficient in space. They would use solar flares and the Van Allen belt to move eolic generators. Truly a maverick enterpreneur.
Yeah importing vaccum from space would cut costs, now I see it
But there's even a Netflix documentary dedicated to the man! He must know what he's talking about, always and no doubt... Amazing vid as always.
Yeah - I noticed that, too, opening Netflix. Enrages me, too.
This is so unfair to the titanic. The ship was fantastic, nobody expected it to hit an iceberg.
Remember when he had Tesla pay 2.2 billion $ to purchase Solar City (which I believe was majority owned by his cousins at the time) because merging the two companies was a "no brainer"? That turned out well. For his cousins.
They say stuff that people like hearing - it'll cost you a dollar - but it's almost as though they don't realize that, typically, things cost what they cost because of all sorts of factors, but something that is particularly important to something like PUBLIC TRANSPORT is the cost to SUPPORT THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT. Maintenance of the system and operation of the system x.x Unless the company eats the cost, the cost is passed off, as-feasibly-as-possible, on the users of the system. In any case, someone, somewhere, somehow, is funding that system... because it must be funded. Who? Where? How? WHY?! It's one thing if a multi-faceted mega-corp funds one thing with another wonderfully successful and profitable thing - I don't know how often that happens or if it happens at all - but outside of something obvious like that, I would honestly question and worry about a company not charging enough for use of their highly technical and advanced public transit system because, again, outside of mysterious exterior funding, it would translate into VERY OBVIOUS results on *your* end of the system. If employees aren't paid enough, it will show there in high turn-over, poor training or no training, terrible moods and engagement, etc. If there is no money or not enough money for maintenance then vehicles and infrastructure are going to wear down, tools are going to be in short-supply or wear out themselves and then replacing equipment or vehicles or expanding the system is going to suffer, too.
I use rocket technology to cook pasta.
This is how cults work. Ask any church.
