What’s funny (or sad?) is seeing attacks on social media tearing down the idea of a battery powered train just because it is associated with Elon Musk.
Elon may be a shit person (though what billionaire isn’t a megalomaniac), and electric cars may be a poor long term solution for the environment (the spontaneous combustion and destructive mining of lithium are… less than desirable) but trains are cool, people should lay off them, in fact we need more of them.
Instead, let’s talk about what Elon promised would be better than trains: The χLoop (formerly Hyperloop).
