I think Elon's biggest problem with mass transit is just that he doesn't like the masses. As he once tweeted: > I think public transport is painful. It sucks.

I think Elon's biggest problem with mass transit is just that he doesn't like the masses. As he once tweeted:
> I think public transport is painful. It sucks. Why do you want to get on something with a lot of other people[...]And there’s like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer, OK, great.
Not the only problem he cites there (note the "[...]"). But I'm pretty sure there's a reason it's the most prominent.
(Incidentally, given the demographics of those most reliant on mass transit, one wonders why exactly he thinks that they are so likely to be serial killers.)
- ironmagma 4y agoThis is not something specific to Elon. Anyone who’s regularly ridden the 38 “Geary” in San Francisco knows there will be a minority of riders who make the experience, at the very least, annoying, if not scarring. Riding home every day with a screeching schizophrenic is not top on my list of preferred activities, nor anyone’s.
