These last few posts about hyperloop, while looking like valid criticism just reeks of envy, jealousy and sour grapes. It become obvious when you intersperse your arguments with descriptions of Musk as being "loopy", "stupid", "amateur", "fraud", "snake oil salesman" and the like. It's so typically academia, it's depressing.
Luckily guys like Musk are out actually accomplishing things, while the professors are whining about why it can't be done.
- makomk 13y agoI find accusing Hyperloop critics of whining whilst Musk's out there accomplishing things really ironic under the circumstances. Musk has no intention of building this - he's just done a bunch of back-of-the-envelope calculations that he's using to take a dig at the people who are out there actually accomplishing something with California HSR. Sure, it may not be ideal, but they're actually doing something whereas Musk's just sniping at them whilst sneakily handwaving away all the difficult parts of the problem.
- MortenK 13y agoWhether he builds the hyperloop or not is entirely irrelevant to the argument. Musk has already built several huge companies all based on the engineering of extremely advanced technology. And here is some guys calling him an amateur, a fraud and even straight stupid. You should look for the irony in that.
