Getting a few subsidies from the government to produce completely new technology sectors and provide competition in stagnant markets is your idea of terrible government intervention; and yet not a peep from idiots like you when Boeing and Lockheed form ULA together to avoid competing, and STILL get subsidies from the government. Nevermind the oil industry subsidies, the agricultural subsidies, etc. etc.

God forbid you ever dump some money into the private sector to encourage the development of new industries and competitive companies.

I guess the only good subsidy is a subsidy going to incumbent monopolies, right?

This means of course that a hole in the train anywhere will kill everyone inside unless there are multiple airlocks. Besides that, one hole in the vacuum tube and suddenly the whole system doesn't work.
Let's also not forget that they haven't even developed an engine to pull the trains, something they are leaving to others and at their last 'competition' not even one submitted car design made it all the way down a very short sample of tubing with an engine provided. This is an absolutely terrible idea and it's clearly nowhere near completion.

Starts SpaceX in 2002, says he will revolutionize space travel in 5 years. 14 years later, and billions of U.S. taxpayer money later, SpaceX is a government tit sucking 90% of its revenue from taxpayer getting, big fat government contractor like Boeing or Lookheed. And doesn't even make money yet.

Start Tesla, Musk helps out with name and money, Tesla is a taxpayer subsidy sucking, "green meme" abusing scam to sell overpriced battery cars to rich liberals. In 2004 says will revolutionize electric cars with millions of Teslas on the street in 10 years, 12 years later still selling it to "green meme" buying idiots.

Invests in SolarCity, gets huge taxpayer money subsidies to compete with Chinese at American worker salaries, which everyone knows is impossible, only survives due to taxpayer money backing

Supports Hyperloop, gets taxpayer money grants for BS high speed train solutions which will never work. Verbal approval, hahaha, Obama-era "enterpreneur" looking for a new suggar daddy. When the project will turn out a fraud, he'll say that Trump won't support it because he hates science and free market or some shit

>>134393731
I agree, although I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Unlike SpaceX and Tesla, Elon's got to work through billions of dollars' worth of red-tape and bureaucracy. I don't think he quite understands that in order to build his hyperloop, he's going to have to do what every other company before him did: Bribe the everloving fuck out of corrupt politicians and jack the price of the project 1000 fold to cover all the misc. retarded costs that are introduced through all that graft and corruption.

SpaceX has future growth potential through telecommunications (world-wide low-latency high bandwidth satellite constellations), and space-based solar power, but that's largely because the bureaucracy is comparatively small. Once you're talking about buying up land and building shit between major cities - you're fucked.

It'll never happen. Every fucking mayor and official in-between is going to be demanding his cut.

Nigger, Musk is exactly a product of red-tape and government bureaucracy. He has an army of lobbyists on payroll to help lift taxpayer money to help his Tesla Motors, SpaceX and SolarCity fraud schemes.

Tesla received a loan guarantee for $465 million from the DOE. When Tesla went public, Musk pocketed nearly $1 billion on his $35 million investment.

SolarCity spent $535,000 in 2009 and 2010 to lobby Congress and the Department of Energy on climate legislation, the Recovery Act, “green workforce training and development,” and provisions in various legislation “relevant to solar development,” according to The National Legal and Policy Center. SolarCity also received a $344 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy and $66 million from additional DOE giveaway programs.

And Musk's other company SpaceX has received over $1 billion in taxpayer funding.

Musk is, of course, a big donor to Obama, having given $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund and another $30,400 to the DNC

SpaceX is not getting 90% of its revenue from the government.

The government doesn't even make up 50% of SpaceX's launches, AND SpaceX is launching for 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of all their competitors.

It's disingenuous to imply that the government buying launches from SpaceX is some kind of subsidy, too. SpaceX is the cheapest on the market right now. This year they've launched more payloads into orbit than every one of their competitors COMBINED.

God forbid the government buy launches with the cheapest launch provider on the market, jesus christ.

I guess they should've paid triple the price to launch with ULA because THAT'S not subsidizing them, right?

Why the fuck not build actual high-speed rail first? Fuck, jumping right into some sci-fi shit before you even get any high-speed rail operational is stupid.

let's see,
distance from D.C to NYC is around 360km (longest underground tunnel is 137km long)
29min (in reality it'll probably be more) travel time means around 700km/hr, maglev speed record is 600km/hr
so i'm going to guess he's droping the vacum chamber concept and just gonna build an undergroung maglev

>>134394529
Electricity is generation-agnostic. 40% of the electricity in the US is produced in nuclear power plants. Something like 70-80% is done by hydro/nuclear in Canada.

Lithium and rare earth mines are no more deadly/toxic than oil/coal/gas drilling and mining is, and Lithium is easily recycled and reused.

The full logistics train of oil/gas from drilling to your ICE engine is an order of magnitude less efficient than the full logistics train of electricity to the battery of an EV. The production of an EV is little different from the production of an ICE.

Basically you don't know shit about fuck.

They do actually account for other drivers.

These self-driving cars have literally been on the road clocking up miles for the better part of half a decade now. The Tesla's all have rudimentary self-driving systems ALREADY. Similar systems are being tested and rolled out by Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, etc.

The big money right now isn't in the luxury cars though, it's in the trucks. 24/7 transportation without paying for a driver. No pit stops so the driver can sleep. No expensive logging and tracking. Fewer lawsuits, no benefits. Fewer crashes, fewer lawsuits. Fewer tickets, fewer broken laws.

Trucks that drive themselves, without stopping except for cursory inspections, maintenance, and refueling.

It'll take 2-3 years to initially prove the concept in a few risk-taking and forward-thinking companies, and then another 2-3 for literally EVERY trucking company in the world to buy these things. Unemployment is going to skyrocket once it's worked out.

These trucks crash 10-15 times over the course of a year period and you have a huuuuuge fucking issue and PR problem on your hands.

What is a hyperloop

>>134395106
if it saves energy depends on how much it costs pump the air out, if, like the tweet implies it's going to have several stops, it would mean to presurize-deprezurize a train sized chamber at every stop
we should also consider maintainance, it would need to either presurize track sections so people can enter, breating suits or robots, there's simply no way to make this cost effective if it needs to run on low pressure

It's only a master of time before space x slows down too and looks exactly like Boeing.

Elon was complaining about DC traffic a while ago and claimed if it didn't improve soon he'd make a company called "The Boring Company" specifically to bore a tunnel under the city for faster commerce. This is just him confirming it's still on.

SpaceX isn't hiring NASA engineers. In large part because NASA engineers are so concerned with safety and quadruple checking everything that nothing gets fucking done without ballooning the costs. Nevermind the exorbitant pay they all demand.

But you wouldn't know any of this, because you are a clueless dumbfuck.

American public transit system is shit, not because americans are stupid, but because they don't want niggers

The Space Shuttle should never have been built. The ISS should never have been built. The SLS should never have been built.

They're not terrible ideas, but the amount of corruption and graft is incredible. SpaceX accomplishes with $1 billion, what NASA requires $10-20 billion to do.

The Space Shuttle should've been cheap and reliable. The ISS should've been genuinely useful with actual centripetal gravity sections and a dedicated 20+ person crew. The SLS should've been 100x cheaper and finished already.

This.

If you want to be overly cynical about everything this guy is trying to build, at least have the decency to look into the specifics even a LITTLE bit. None of you retards slamming this idea ITT even seem to realize this has nothing to do with mass transport or trains.
The idea is you drive your own car to a platform above ground, which then lowers it into the tunnel and carries you and your car to your chosen destination. So basically you get to "drive" your own car underground at insane speed to a certain destination without any fuel depleted.
Addtionally, he doesn't need to buy any land or implement imminent domain since the entire drilling process will occur far enough underground that it literally cannot be detected above, not even by the most sophisticated measuring devices.

Sometimesyou guys act like a bunch of idiots, instantly shunning an idea without looking into it at all because of the "jews" or some other retarded reason. It's okay to be skeptical, but atleast look into it first.

Anon the key is not going faster than the light, it's to go around it.

To bend the fabric of space and time of two far points, much closer.

Breaking the speed of light is mathematically impossible as we know it.

However, space and time is malleable. Like a fabric. Hence the 'fabric of space time'. To find a way to harness the fabric, and mold it. The consequences of this discovery could be more catastrophic than any bomb humans could ever imagine.

I personally hope humans never are able to do such a thing.

>>134401819
Well it was envisioned as an above ground tube but there are a ton of engineering problems that make it impossible to build. First off it would be incredibly prone to outside damage and sabotage. One rifle round could penetrate it and cause structural integrity loss that would implode and crush the tube under the weight of the atmosphere.

Heat expansion would warp the tube, the topside of the tube will be in sunlight while the bottom mostly won't, causing heat expansion stress on the vacuum tube. Lengthwise heat expansion is the bigger problem though, take look at how bendy and zig zagged other types of long pipelines have to be in order to not fail due to heat expansion, making high-speed near vacuum travel unfeasible.

So only sane way to build it would be inside the bedrock.


But the joke is on musk though, as age on conspiracy theories tell us that these types of tunnels already exist between strategic bases and locations in the US. Built with black budget top secret nuclear boring machines that melt the bedrock in front of them as they push through leaving behind them a smooth glass like finish.

>>134402830
Nope dummy, there would be airlock placed probably at every mile or so, in case of maitenance or emergency a certain section of the tube can be sealed off and filled with air rapidly.

Also at the station the airlock where the vehicle enters is precisely the dimensions of the vehicle, so pumping out the few litres of air around the vehicle will be insanely quick.

very informative video. Convinced me that the hyperloop will never be possible.

The devs of the Hyperloop responded to thunderfoot's vid on plebbit in a AMA:

I've got this one. I have watched the video, and made copious notes. Thunderf00t is a well known youtube science commentator, best known for debunking religious fundamentalists and understanding the surface-maximization of liquid alkali metals, published in Nature last year.
That aside, both hyperloop videos show a complete reluctance to engage with the real arguments. Sorry, but highlighting some semi-literate comments by your critics does not amount to engaging in a useful discussion. I would like to levitate this video into the sun.
Here are some specific points and rebuttals: -Thunderf00t primarily makes reference to the Hyperloop alpha whitepaper, written by some SpaceX employees in 2013. I saw no evidence of engagement with subsequent press releases by any of the hyperloop companies. In particular, TF doesn't seem to be aware that there is more than one hyperloop company. FYI, we are Hyperloop One, the company that has raised ~$108 and built the world's most powerful linear motor in 5 months. -Thunderf00t talks a good game about aerodynamics, but shows no evidence of even having read the wikipedia article on choked flow, duct flow, the Kantrowitz limit, or knowing any of the other 'first day on the job' level detail for our aero team. -One of Thunderf00t's technical gotchas was 'expansion joints are difficult', despite the fact that hydraulic cylinders exist, most steel rails are thermally pretensioned, and thermal expansion is probably something we thought of already. -Thunderf00t could have easily looked up our people on LinkedIn, checked their google scholar bona fides, whatever, but seemed more keen on a cheap take down than actually engaging with interesting and ongoing engineering challenges. -One symptom of the level of technical effort that went into TF's video is his careless assumption that 1g = 1m/s/s, as though Hyperloop was being built on some tiny moon of Jupiter.

"Vladimir Putin: I am flying now to Kazan, from there to Yoshkar-Ola, and then to Sochi, where I will meet with children.

I set up a big children’s centre at one of the Olympic facilities. We have turned it into a marvellous centre. We bring gifted children from all around the country there, young mathematicians, physicists, ballet dancers, musicians and athletes, hockey players and figure skaters. We organised it so that 900 children come at a time, from all around the country, and spend 21 days there. We accompany them; bring in the best teachers from all over Russia, from Moscow, academicians, professors all come to work with them. It is a very interesting place. The current group is coming to the end of their programme now and I would like to meet with them tomorrow.

Lyudmila Alexeyeva: Yes. Kazan is a good city too. But what takes you to Yoshkar-Ola, I don’t know.

The batteries alone creates more CO2 during the manufacturing process than a car does that runs on fossile fuels, you can literally use a normal car for years before u produce an equal amount of CO2. And that's not even taking into account the CO2 produced for the actual electricity needed to charge the battery daily, and before the normal car emitts more CO2, you have to replace the battery with a new one. You get it right? Normal fossile fuel cars emit less or equal amount of CO2.

Electric cars are 100% a scam when it comes to CO2 emissions.

No idea on what he'll charge, but I do know from previous studies, the tube itself and initial outlay is the ONLY expensive part of this tech. Once it's up and running, you have minimal moving parts, incredible efficiency (near vacuum means near zero friction travel, electric acceleration and deceleration means Regenerative braking: energy used to accelerate it can be mostly (id guess 80% or better ) captured and reused.

The tech is very useful, very well past time to roll.out....except that it already was rolled out, In secret, and those who did so wanted to keep their tactical advantage.

>Elon Musk is a great man, and tax payer funded or free market funded, either way, his inventions and innovations are highly needed and he is to be praised.
What exactly he innovated and how are they "highly needed"?

>>134420968
Those cars have shit I terrors and obvious fit and finish issues. I saw one on the road just the other day (California plates of course) where the front and rear doors were mis-aligned by almost an entire inch. That's excusable on a Hyundai, but not a car that's priced higher than a BMW or Mercedes. Don't get me wrong, I love the power potential electric engines offer. But Tesla is a tech company LARPing as an auto company. They still have a long way to go with their design before they can justify the price. As of now the only thing making those Cara worth it are the smug liberals who want to brag about their carbon footprint, or the guys who value speed so highly they'll buy a model s and live with the cheap apple knock off interior.

It's a PR stunt to get his Reddit fanbase worked up.

Yes, exposing a tube full of people travelling at 800mph to rapid pressurization(which would result in rapid loss of speed) is a fantastic idea that surely will end well for those involved.

Oh man, what a fucking faggot. Haha.

verbal approval means nothing

What if there was a tennis ball in front of you and a schoolkid slowly climbing the fence opposite. I know I'd slow down in a white neighbourhood, but what are the chances your autocar would come to the same conclusion? You think it could determine the kid's age and gender in time to make the right assessment on likeliness to run?

Here's what one of the hyperloop guys said about these "busted" videos
Thunderfoot is a faggot

musk is hurting these ideas because he's approaching them in a fucking retarded way and will poison them for decades when he inevitably fails and billions upon billions evaporate into thin air

>>134391002
That shit isn't got going to be finished until the 22nd century at least.

You could actually get gas density lower than that at 1atm just by using helium.

So basically

>still no explanation as to how to make a thousand kilometer vacuum chamber feasible, safe and affordable

I get it, the guy has to say something. The hyperloop is still a scam.and everyone participating in it should be shot once it becomes clear that this is the case.

>just make it above ground and plow through poor neighborhoods; save a ton of money
It would cost much more actually.. because this thing need to operate in a practical vacuum (one of the things that actually makes it untenable at present technology levels) In order to run it above ground you would need to create a structure that could withstand the pressures of such an immense vacuum,,, which would require materials from hell that were super strong and engineered perfectly… Underground would be the only way to accomplish this thing at present.. which it won't however, because its an impossibility at present.
