via a three-choice survey, the boring company CEO, elon musk, asked his followers on twitter, saturday, march 10th 2018, what their perspectives were on hyperloop:
a: hyperloop is an impossible pipedream.
b: hyperloop is a stupid hole in the ground.
c: hyperloop is both, an impossible pipedream and a stupid hole in the ground.

62% of elon’s followers answered c. both. this cheeky survey follows a far-less-sarcastic tweet, one day earlier, on march 9th, in which musk announced a redesigned urban loop system — a system which will now allegedly begin with a 150 mph bus, giving priority to pedestrians without cars. it’s a complete 180 from his initial hyperloop plan, which gave priority to cars, more-specifically, teslas.

‘will still transport cars,’ musk tweeted, ‘but only after all personalized mass transit needs are met. it’s a matter of courtesy & fairness. if someone can’t afford a car, they should go first.’ he then described the outcome of this plan — a faster, underground transit system with 1000s of stops, that can drop riders off quicker and closer to their destination. pedestrians first. teslas second.
