The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

No, no. This is the rule when dealing with people who haven't given you reason to believe they're acting in bad faith. Musk has been blatantly and openly acting in bad faith for years.

He fooled many of us, but I thank him for further opening my eyes and making me more aware of shysters like he and the pieces of shit that are trying to emulate him, like Spez and Jack Dorsey and far too many other tech moguls and burgeoning tech moguls.

Also fuck Trump, because without Trump's normalization of this type of "mask off" behavior Musk would have never had the balls to show his true self, and now I'm not so sure if that was a blessing or a curse just yet, on a personal level it's definitely fucked up my family quite a bit.

Don't beat yourself up too much. There was a lot of selective reporting going on which masked how much of a giant piece of shit human being he is.

I've come to the conclusion that most CEOs are probably horrible people. Take Dan Price for example. He was the guy that gave away most of his salary to give his employees a living wage. Let's just say he is not a good person either.

The Hyperloop is what ended my honeymoon with Musk. Everyone I knew loved the idea. I didn't because I knew the science behind new max theoreticals on traditional steel wheel bullet trains. Once the blindfold was gone, I saw what he really was: a narcissist.

Took a while for the rest to hop aboard. Some never did. People are emboldened to be wrong when there's someone to reinforce their stupiditly.

while i still have some respect for what he did, leading tesla from a prototype vehicle made in a shed based on a kit car to what it is today and starting a rocket company that has actually done some amazing things, yeah. hes a jackass and needs to be told so. but being wildly rich since birth has insulated him from that.
