The Goalpost shift continues, If elon were working for me, I would have fired him for having never delivered on any of his projects.

Hey now. Huperliop was designed to scuttle California’s light rail project. Which it did. Mission accomplished.

This is the funniest conspiracy theory.

It’s not really so much a conspiracy theory as a thing that he outright said.

He can take out a full page Wall Street Journal ad tomorrow that says “I created hyperloop to kill CA HSR” and it will have no effect on the fact that CA HSR’s failure is 100% the fault of CA’s own dysfunction.

Yeah that’s where I’m confused about this “conspiracy theory” stuff. It’s common knowledge that Musk wanted hyperloop to undermine the high speed rail project and also it later failed. Aside from a single HN comment I have never seen anyone attribute him with that much influence on the thing, so it is bizarre to see someone talking like there’s some sort of common conspiracy theory that Elon Musk controls trains or whatever. As far as I know pretty much nobody believes that.
