Buffet is full of super-fresh, renewable seafood and all the beers are nice and cold still! Now, excuse me, it is that time of the day where I roll out my prayer mat and give thanks to the one true White Paper!
The true Elon Musk fan would not say it is unsinkable as the boat glides below the waterline. They proclaim "Briliant, it isn't just unsinkable, it a submarine too"
The boat can also probably tranform into a submarine. And sinks to the deepest possible point and the pressure propepls it faster that two jets with the cost less than Aldi's paper bags. Im a fuckin genuis.
yeah but it was a good investment because as he points out, the goal is to sell the same bricks in the future for 10 cents a piece. And then you just have to wait for Elon to invent one of those Tenet machines that let you reverse the flow of time and you'll get like a 2000% return...
@@Bridgeburner4477 Hey, there are brick collectors out there. But they do tend to want properly made historical bricks. Not green bricks off a brick press. Yup, we never got to see musks drying oven and kiln system for his bricks 😂. Yup, I used to work for a brick company. We had a half mile long tunnel kiln, huge piles of local quarried clay aging outside.. massive mixers, a lab to test the mix.. the whole lot. Who would have thought bricks could be made from randon spoil mixed with cement 😂😂👍
Most bricks don't cost more than 4 dollars and many bricks cost 25 cents lol. A billionaire really thinks his 10 cent brick plan will help the affordable housing crisis. If only he had a couple billion dollars to donate.
Also concrete bricks have existed forever as well. Recycled concrete bricks do exist but aren't usually used for structural elements as there is a great level of uncertainty about their structural strength. So recycled concrete bricks are usually used for decorate facades or garden walls or other applications where high compressive strength isn't as critical. That's all these things are; decorate bricks.
@@valeforedark I suppose the "coin" is "having a strong opinion". My target is not to not have strong opinions, ie not have the coin. The target is, if you're gonna have a strong opinion, it better be close to reality.
They also refuse to consider the difference between "impossible" (works in theory, but would break the laws of physics or something in reality) and "impractical" (works in theory, and doesn't break the laws of physics, but is not viable in the real world).
I think Phil's overt arrogance is a major problem. The way to prove Elon wrong is to try to prove him right. Not to say "this is so hard!" If you try to prove Elon right and find out it just doesn't weigh out, you pretty quickly figure out he's selling promises and nothing else.
Please never stop calling out musk, no one else seems to actually question what he's saying and its frustrating af hearing intelligent people treat him with reverance. These videos are a breath of fresh air among all the bullshit.
The Titanic's design was sound, its sister ships Olympic and Britannic which were the same design had no issues, but you're right about Elon, lots of his ideas don't materialise, hoping you're proved wrong about his Twitter purchase though :)
There's definitely a handful youtubers debunking Musk. There's the Common Sense Sceptic, Some More News, Adam Something, the illuminaughty did a video on him. There are also some other lefttubers doing this kind of content. But other than that, there are not many, yeah.
Elon Musk made me realize that everybody thinks that they are Tony Stark until thermodynamics or practicality come into play. His confidence in his ideas don't show how much of a visionary he is. It just shows his ignorance. Same with every water from air device.
Whenever I see the Elon Musk situation i wonder if there is really something like too big to fail. A point where you have aquired so much wealth where you can do whatever dumb shit you want without it affecting the bottom line.
"Visionary" is one of those labels that we need to think more careful about before throwing it around. It can easily make anyone with some grandiose fantasy about the future appear like a clairvoyant genius without having done or proven anything yet. Quite similar to "ambitious". An "ambitious goal" sounds exciting, but may just be a delusional overpromise. And if you think about it, all that Elon ever impresses his crowds with are his ambitions, never his results.
@@jacekmatusiak6184 Absolutely not. Both priciples have proven feasibility long ago before Musk presented "his" versions (not to forget that even Tesla was existing prior to Musk entering). Go figure, back in the 90th I was riding along a BEV Volkswagen MKIII Golf. But Volkswagen had a lot other engines to sell and fuel was cheap back then (as it still is today) so they dumped the idea. However, the only thing what EM achieved and actually masters is making people BELIEVE in his words. Like a preacher. A guy can admire him for that, probably not (credits to Derek VGG, love your channel).

@@sr.cosmos4543 Is Musk the visionary? Or do you mean the guy who proudly admitted to buying something he believes are going to depreciate in value by 2 orders of magnitude?
Yup. Fun fact - regardless which power source you use, hauling a 2 tonne metal box just to transport 0.1 tonne of meat and bones inside isn't "green" regardless the propulsion method
Maybe if he continues to throw the billions down the drain (into other billionaires' pockets) maybe he will lose appeal... The only reason anyone would buy into this idiocy is that they are blinded by his money - is he's rich he has to be smart, right?
Haha, that whole "this is the only solution we can think of to congestion" is the perfect example of the inability to think outside one's class interests. When the only solution to the problem they can think of is one in which they can be ferried around inside their own little private boxes using an insanely inefficient system. As is his recent political shift, considering he and the Republicans have literally no common interests other than being spiteful towards any kind of worker organization. Reminds me of Disney and his weird communist paranoia.
On a lot of these presentations, Musk looks like he's actually making up things in his head. Costs, work rate, funding, benefits, comparisons to current ways of doing things etc.
"making up things in his head" - without any experience or knowledge. I mean, if someone who has experience andor knowledge in a particular field he or she can make up/predict some things about that particular field without these claims being completely ridiculous, e.g. you didn't have to be a genius virologist to predict how this pandemic could unfold but what Musk is doing is making up totally preposterous bs. His cult is basically just portraying the mainstream perception of science and this is highly unsettling. Musk is to science what Trump is to politics. The amalgamation of decades of bs and underfunded education.
Hey but if you rent out a train cart to yourself, while the train carries hundreds-thousands of other people, it is technically “personalized mass transit”😂😂😂
The closest thing to "Personalised Mass Transit" are those electric scooters cluttering cities (they're still better than cars even if bothersome). A lot of people can use it to move from one point to another and they can choose where and when to go. At least in my city the system works pretty well. Some people even buy own e-scooters.

Yeah this is consistent. People involved in actual machine brain interface say musk probably doesn't know where a brain is. People in actual rocket related sciences say hes a goof. And tesla is ranked almost last among electric car manufacturers. His ideas arent even good. Their childish and as inefficient as can be. None of them are sustainable.
And yet the LVCC Loop is actually extremely successful moving 25,000 - 27,000 people per day during large conventions like SEMA in November. 27,000 passengers per day is: - greater than the number of passengers that 65% of the stations on the London Underground individually handle daily which with 1.8 million passengers per day across 272 stations averages only 6,617 passengers per day PER STATION. - more than the 24,858 passengers per day per line pre-pandemic average of Kings Cross station, the busiest station on the Tube which pre-pandemic had 149,150 entries per day across 6 lines. - more than the average of 13,684 people PER STATION per day of the entire Paris Metro which had a pre-pandemic ridership of 4.16 million per day over 304 stations. - about 70% the 38,888 people per day per platform pair average of the busiest station on the Paris Metro, the Gare Du Nord which pre-pandemic handled 700,000 people per day across 36 platforms. - more than the 14,000 passengers per day per line average of the Stuttgart Main Station S-Bahn which pre-pandemic saw 140,000 passengers across 10 lines through the turnstiles daily.

@@ixxxxxxx because the Loop is currently being expanded to 55 Loop stations across 34 miles of tunnels under Las Vegas at ZERO cost to taxpayers. With the Loop providing such high capacity with vehicles travelling far faster than subway trains in much greater comfort with zero wait times, so much more cheaply than subways, the Loop has the potential to massively disrupt the public transport market globally.

As a construction worker hearing someone talk about using "dirt" and mixing it with "a little bit of concrete" to form bricks that could be used for housing, please no.
@@the_mowron that's what they're typically made from in part, yes, clay as well as a few other ingredients like lime and/or sand which are usually fired in a kiln. But not just your run of the mill dirt or spoiled earth you get from excavation which usually has a bunch of other material in it.
Someone should have mentioned that to the builders of Heirakonpolis, they worked for King Khasekhemwy in 2686 BCE and built the oldest unfired mud brick structure in the world, known as the Shunet-el-Zebib. Mud is wet dirt, both terms are inaccurate but I think you know that. remember there are three fractions in "dirt" The rammed earth technique is even older, you may know sections of the Great wall of China are constructed in this manner, many temples and Monasteries in Tibet and China are made with rammed earth, some 8000 yrs old. I've built several houses, some with IFC, stick framed houses are a complete joke, 100 years max for well built and well maintained units, 50 for those using osb in walls and floors- even with excellent maintenance- which most people do not undertake. Modern houses are a rip off and a scam.
"Tell me you don't know anything about bricks without telling me you don't know anything about bricks".meme I really hate how interpersonal communication has been damaged to the point where we can just throw funny pictures at each other, but there's really no other way to respond to "I'ma dig a hole and make dirt bricks that'll sell for more than the hole costs!"
Sure, there's problems, but the base idea is sound. Biggest problem is the single car issue. We should probably chain together a bunch of cars, maybe even build our own cars that can carry lots of people at once. And if tunnels are so expensive they could just go over land unless you need to go over a mountain or something, just use a tunnel then. We could give it a cool acronym to, like the Technological Revolutionary Automated Individual Navigator. I really think this T.R.A.I.N. idea could take off.
Or, in areas where space IS a concern, you _could_ run these "chains of high-capacity cars" in tunnels. I call it the Monumental Electric Transport Revolution Object, or the M.E.T.R.O. for short.
You know what, I think Musk would get away with selling your T.R.A.I.N. idea 😉 Musk fan : ' Did you hear about Musk new project called T.R.A.I.N ? ' It's genius !

"You could have hundreds of small stations, and tunnels woven throughout a city..." What, you mean like a subway? He's taken a working concept that has existed for around 150 years and made it slower, less economical and less safe. What a genius!
I feel Apple set the stage for this sort of cultish behaviour. They marketed the idea that Jobs was a genius and that you too could share in that genius simply by pledging your unwavering brand loyalty (and by denying the existence of right clicks).
Meanwhile, jobs was a hype Man with mediocre engineering skills and wazniak got very little credit for designing and building the original apple product line
At least Apple delivered most of their ideas. And no, I'm not a Jobs fanboy. He was a nasty, narcissistic prick. The fact that he still compares favourably to Musk shows just how bad Musk is.

Thunderf00t is usually right about things but gets hate and then 2-3 years later everyone else agrees that Thunderf00t was right. I'm so happy that he isn't afraid to get hate for having controversial opinions. So many people on youtube and other influencer sites care too much about fluffing audience to ever go down the roads thunderf00t does.
If ThunderF00t guesses things he will get some of them right at some point. Stand at a bus stop and guess enough times and he will predict that a bus comes. Musk himself has stated that he is not always right and can get things wrong but does that therefore mean that he is full of crap or a fraud? Tesla now sells 1 million cars per year and his space X business is also winning contracts and if his Starlink works he will become the world's first trillionaire. People like Musk, Jobs, Gates, Gordon Moore and Henry Ford can get things wrong but when they get them right they tend to be spectacular.
@@bighands69 I wouldn't say thunderf00t guesses things. He applies a scientific outlook on things which leads to him being less likely to fall to hype. For the most part media isn't very good at doing this and will take big claims based on perceived authority rather than in more rational manner. So it builds into the hype even more. Theranos is probably the biggest example of this. I recalled professors at her former school who she talked to thought the idea was ridiculous but media and financial speculators just bought into the hype. Plus like I said influencers usually just try to circlejerk with their audience to keep the money train. With thunderf00t I can see and understand his reasoning and even check the numbers and math or whatever myself.
I think a lot has to do whit this channel is not his bread and butter its mostly just a fun side project while many others feel the pressure of the algorithm
As to the cult aspect you're absolutely right. I love that like an evangelical preacher he is constantly making promises that by "next year" we will have gone to the end of the solar system inside a Tesla bus, poor Nikola.
Watching Elon describe what something is _going_ to do is literally like watching a little child make something up on the spot. Like, it's no different. It's the exact hallmark of somebody who's never had to be responsible for their words.
He and his fans will probably be remembered as examples of crowd delusion in text books on psychology, alongside Jones (of Jonestown), the man whose name begins with "H", and other charismatic megalomaniacs.

I really dont get why people hate public transport. Sure you are bound to a fixed plan and if you live in a rural area a car might be necessary, but if you live in or near a city public transport is the way. It might not be as flexible or comfortable as driving a car, but it is the best way we have to move a large amount of people in a city. And it makes cities way nicer
Every time I hear the phrase “rocket technology to build tunnels” I hear Fry and The Professor from futurama, as they crash and sink into the ocean. “How many atmospheres of pressure can we withstand?” “Well, it’s a spaceship, so somewhere between zero and one”
Can I just say that I once was a devoted Elon fan. But channel like you and Common Sense Skeptic have help me to open my eyes and see the utter crap that Elon says. I ask that you continue to make videos like this, because it is making a difference, and you are helping people wake up! Thank you!
Same. It also really shows just how much of a conman Elon Musk is. It's ironic he bought a company named Tesla... because the man is probably closer to a modern day Thomas Edison than a Tesla.
If you trust common sense Sceptic, you should open your eyes for once, as they are closed shut tight. 90% of what he does is uninformed rambling about anything what Musk said or is remotely related to him. 90% of BS amongst some real arguments. As if Musk never says anything that's true. I facepalmed when he said that Spacex engineers do not see a fatal flaw in Starship design - a common bulkhead of fuel and oxidizer tanks. Therefore it cannot possibly fly. Except it's how Falcon 9, Atlas-Centaur, Saturn II/III and many other rockets were made. Other of his BS usually is not so obvious for me on a first glance but totally fall apart after a bit of research. Thunderf00t is obsessed with Musk too to unhealthy level of bias but at least does not output unfiltered BS like CSS.
@@woopsserg oh right, I forgot I commented that, I've since renounced CSS and instead chose to do my own research only. I agree, he is very misleading, but still I agree with him about Musk, not entirely but I do think Elon is a conman who is yet to fall.
@@jobyy8754 I would not call him a con man. He is super optimistic, especially on timeline, oversells the things, has crazy ideas, trolls and posts stupid things on Twitter. However he gets things done, which I find the major merit. Comparing him to Elizabet Holmes of Theranos as Thunderf00t and other do is just nonsensical. She never delivered anything, nor had any chance to do so. For example take Crew dragon, done for 40% less money than Boeing has received for competing Starliner. Delivering crew to ISS for 2 years already and without problems. Starliner on other hand had two unmanned flights and first was close to destruction and ended prematurely as it was totally ridden with flaws. Second test flight had very serious hardware failures too. Not to say each Dragon flight is much cheaper too. I recall Phil claiming something like Spacex conning the government for $2.6 billion and not delivering on time but not mentioning Boeing received $4.2 billion for the same thing and not delivered 2 years later. Yes there is a cult of Musk followers but IMHO cult of haters is just as large if not larger.
one could at least hope they would not attack you for giving valid criticism but nope they are quick to jump in front of the gun and often don't have anything to dispute what you say and turn to insults or simply say "well you are not successful like musk so you are just jellus of him"
@Elias Håkansson Well, you do understand that if you claim projects and deadlines that are never being accomplished, or if you steal decades old tunel designs and train designs claiming that are yours, is a little bit strange. At least you can acknowledge that.
@Elias Håkansson I get that feeling about both the boring company and the Hyperloop stuff. Luckily SpaceX and Tesla are able to plod along almost ignoring the crap Musk comes out with (I still wouldn’t invest in Tesla but I am not expecting it to actually fail. SpaceX is potentially in a trickier position Vis Musk’s claims and their aims are a lot more aspirational .

Perhaps you’re not aware that the Las Vegas Convention Centre Loop easily transports 25,000 to 27,000 people per day during medium sized conventions? That’s comparable to every similar sized subway around the Globe.
@@planterion7969 Hi Planterion, the 27,000 ppd figure is actually easily verifiable. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority (LVCVA) as published by numerous publications including Bloomberg and Teslarati reported earlier this year that: “The Boring Co’s LVCC Loop rated as ‘outstanding,’ transported 15k-17k daily passengers during CES 2022” “the Boring Company’s tunnel system successfully moved 25,000 to 27,000 passengers daily around the Las Vegas Convention Center campus during SEMA in November. SEMA was the Convention Center and the LVCC Loop’s first full-facility show with 114,000 attendees.”
@@andrewfranklin4429 Alright, that‘s an inefficient system. I believe you that those numbers are correct, but those are peak capacity numbers. The subway numbers you are comparing them to are averages across regular days. The S-Bahn in Stuttgart for example moves comparable amounts of people on a regular day, but it rarely operates at full capacity. And you want to compare capacities, right? A standard train there can comfortably fit about 500 people, even more if needed. One arrives every 5 - 10 minutes at most stations. (calculated with 10 min intervals) that gives it a capacity of 72.000 people a day. During busy times there are 5 min intervals, where the S-Bahn can theoretically carry 6000 people every hour
@@planterion7969 Hi Planterion, not sure why you believe 27,000 to be a peak value for the Loop as that 25,000 to 27,000 people per day is just the range during a medium-sized event (SEMA 2021 had 114,000 attendees) at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. The Loop has yet to see what the ridership will be like during large conventions such as the pre-pandemic CES which boasted 180,000 attendees in its heyday. That is the sort of event the Loop was designed to handle. Yes, theoretically, with a 5 minute headway, the S-Bahn could move 6,000 people per hour down the line. However, the Loop EVs are arriving and leaving from each bay every 30 seconds which with 10 bays per station means an EV is leaving each station down to every 3 seconds. That gives us 1,200 EVs per hour. Across all three stations, that’s 3,600 EVs per hour. So with 2.5 passengers per EV, that is 3,000 people per hour per station or 9,000 people per hour across all three. With 4 people per EV, that is up to 14,400 people per hour. And of course, if the Loop needed to boost capacity, they could simply add higher capacity EV vans or buses on high-demand routes. With 16-passenger EV vans (or the pods shown in the Boring Co’s promotional videos), you’re looking at potential capacities of 57,600 people per hour.
Oh my god, this man took credit for dirt bricks and literally sold them for $200 per brick! You know, dirt bricks, one of the oldest innovations, a thing we've been building with for thousands of years all around the world. And people bought it! People paid $200 for one Elon Musk dirt brick!
To be fair to the Titanic, it was quite well designed. It took two hours to sink and it went down on an even keel. Modern cruise ships with similar damage don’t seem to do that.
Cruise ships are giant barges that couldn't hope to survive the rough Atlantic. Plus they're top heavy condos with a mall slapped in the middle. But yeah the Titanic was quite a marvel of engineering along with the first in the class Olympic.
@@thesaltybeard1793 ive often said that about the titanic. If a modern cruise ship sank in the middle of the ocean there would be 95%+ casualties. If a ship doesn't sink on an even keel the lifeboats can't be launched.

@@1Snouser If they had stuck with Falcon Nine, ferrying supplies to the ISS, they would be the most successful rocket company ever (however just saying that isn't much considering the number of civilian owned space capable rocket companies in the world but I'll give you that) but this whole business of Starship and it's overblown mission to mars is going to sink the company. I think it will happen just as soon as Musk kills an entire crew when Starship's engine's fail to ignite to land. All rockets fail, it's a statistical fact, and when you are counting on those engines to stop you from slamming into the ground instead of landing you get dead crew members. There is a reason no one but cartoons and movies have landed manned rockets like that, and no the moon does not count the gravity there is lower and therefore it is a much easier (though still very dangerous) task to accomplish, though even there, when I have attempted to build something as tall and skinny as Starship and land it on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program it has more often than not topped over. The most basic landing craft stategy is a wide base and squat height so that you can more easily achieve (or even be guaranteed) balance.

The instructor dude says, yeah but that won't work when the US turns off the civilian GPS signal. Fair point but why couldn't the military version be similar to the civie one but also have the secret sauce to work when war breaks out.
also, isn't space technology the exact opposite of tunneling technology? one is dedicated to getting you underground, and the other is for getting you as far away from underground as possible
"It's a plastic bag with assorted faeces in it, but it's way more profound than it sounds. It'll revolutionise the plastic bags containing assorted faeces world" Elon Musk 2022
The craziest thing is he designed a bad metro system, pitched it at pedestrians and bikes for mass transit 😂, and says it's the only and best option for the future 😂😂😂😂
I guess Musk will have to settle with being the richest man in the world, having sent people into space (the U.S would still be using Russian launches BTW if SpaceX didn't exist), designing the worlds best selling electric car and creating a trillion dollar car company out of nothing. But other than that... he hasn't done anything. Oh BTW... hows Thunderf00ts or your lifetime achievements going BTW? Oh wait... wait.. you don't have any.
@@overmind06 You didn't contradict any of my points made. He is the worlds richest person. FACT. NASA now uses SpaceX exclusively for human launches and they'd still be using Russian space agency for launches if SpaceX didn't exist. FACT. He turned a fledgling (and failing) project electric car maker into the worlds largest car company and sells the most electric vehicles in the world. FACT.

Here is a tip to help you catch someone lying. It's something I learned from a seasoned investigator. Contrary to what most people believe, liars make sure to look you in the eyes and don't really sweat or stutter that much. To catch a liar you have to know that he has a story full of holes and out of order. Therefore, when he's telling his lie, he's all over the place with chronology, going back and forth to pluck holes in his story. One more thing to watch for, the intonation at the end of the sentences, sometimes it sounds like an inflected laughter, sometimes like an interrogation or an exclamation tone that's out of place.
It's truly shocking how Musk is grifting through life. If you do this stuff as a small seller on the street you'll get thrown in prison or get your ass beaten by an angry client.
He's totally mastered the art of his celebrity status. No-one appears to dare to challenge his nonsense publically for fear perhaps of the backlash from his fanboys.
He isn't going to prison yet because the rich people he is scamming are too cowardly to admit they are being scammed. Either they are afraid of all the I-told-you-so's coming their way or they are so deep underwater with their investments they have joined in the scam to delay getting caught. Elon Musk's time is going to come. It is only a matter of time. Just be patient; eventually Musk will join Elizabeth Holmes. Seriously, can you imagine being an investor in Hyperloop? Eventually that ship is going crash and burn and all those investors will be completely screwed. This is why there is that tunnel under Las Vegas. It is proof Musk tried; proof he believed it would work. But in a court of law a jury may see it differently. Elon Musk is one whistleblower away from being in handcuffs. All it will take is one insider mediocre profile individual with a good attorney and it is game over for Musk.
11:02 Anyone else notice the name 'Godot Tunnel Boring Machine'? Godot is a character from the play 'Waiting for Godot', whom the other characters spend the whole play waiting for. Godot literally never arrives, and none of the other characters can obtain anything more than the vaguest information about what Godot even looks like. The idea that the tunneler machine was called Godot.... welll to me that puts a whole new spin on the story! I'd recommend checking the wikipedia page on the play out while holding in mind the name of that tunneling machine!
Godot is named Godot because it was an off-the-shelf Tunnel Boring Machine that was just s slow as the other TBMs in the industry. ie. terribly slow. Since then however, TBC has built and been using several generations of completely in-house designed and constructed TBMs called Prufrock 1, 2 and 3 which are significantly faster thanks to being able to construct the tunnel,lining simultaneously with boring as well as being able to “porpoise” in and out of the ground without re uiring expensive, time-consuming launch and reception pits.
"the tunnel will pay for itself" Brick: costs 200$ Color me unsuprised, you won't pay for hundreds of workers, heavy machinery use and maintenance and materials with 10 cents bricks.
You gotta hand it to Musk. He might be right. If every Musk fanboy pre-orders 100 bricks for $200/pop, he can just ship them all bags of loose dirt and they will all say "well, this is a good first step", and they will eagerly await the next pre-order opportunity.
Every time I see a Musk presentation I have the impression that he's making it up as he goes along, with anxious staff listening in, worrying as he cooks up yet another idea that they then have to deliver..
I think they’re used to not having to even meet his ridiculous made-up BS anymore. Failure after failure, staged demonstrations and moving the goalposts is just SOP for him. He’ll come up with some other BS to fund the next ponzai, largely using public funds.
I almost spit my drink all over my computer monitor, when I heard that guy saying that he spent 200 bucks for ONE brick. And then I almost sprayed my screen AGAIN, when he said, that he bought another one.
Yes, now for the coup-de-grâce of this whole shenanigan: Supposedly, we have the same requirement! Kind of makes you wonder what kind of government we actually have, anyway?
@@porcus123 While musk's pseudo-subway will never succeed & could never meet existing safety laws... You'll find that specifically, the inability to open the exterior door during travel will not be the limiter. Actually most current accepted methods don't allow a user to open an exterior door during travel. Obviously, there's a big difference between that & not being able to evacuate in an emergency, which is the bigger issues here. Musk's problem is that even after a disaster, they still can't safely evacuate people. However, even that is pretty minor relative to the fact that nobody can survive any disaster, no matter how minimal. Yeah, musk is a lying scam artist. He has never come up with anything of his own. All he does is steal the work of others. So naturally, his bs won't come true. That said, the proof musk is an idiot, is that when deciding which ideas to steal, he stole the nonviable ones. We've known for ages how to do these things, that's why these ideas originally failed, in the 1st place. It's all the more absurd because we already have infinitely better ways to do this, without any of musk's stolen ideas.

Didn't we solve "the trasport problem" when all the worlds leaders in early 2020 told us to stay at home? traffic congestion dissapeared overnight. Elon is trying to sell more travel as the solution to too much travel.
Yes yes yes. If anything good came out of the kungflu is it showed many people can work very effectively from home or at least hybrid, no longer burning dinosaur bones and sitting in streams of traffic
I mean somewhat? Yes there are plenty of people, most of whom live in large towns and cities, who don't need a car. But there are still people who do need one either to get to work or to just survive like myself for example. But I get the feeling you already knew that.
That’s not a permanent solution travel is necessary whether we like it or not, we can certainly minimize it, but as long as people need things travel will be required.

To me he is actually one of the few people who deserve the following he has. He is getting people into space. ALL of the car makers are making electric vehicles because of Tesla. Battery tech is progressing. He has satellite internet being used in Ukraine right now designed to give the world access to the net. Those aren't light accomplishments.
@@BeachLookingGuy what have you changed? No some major car companies are switch over completely to electric because of Tesla. The gas companies are raping us rigjt now because the feel electic vehicle is inevitable and they are getting profits now. Who has gotten more people into space you or Elon? I guarantee he knows more of the science than you do It's not really that he's perfect but he is moving major tech a long while people who are TH-cam warriors with no accomplishments at all are saying he didn't do enough. But that's kind of this generations thing is to always tear down the next person's accomplishments and literally done nothing.
So wait, the bricks were made by compressing dirt, but not treating it with any kind of sealant or baking it...? So what happens when it rains??? If it's not treated or cured in any way then it's just a shaped clump of dirt which will turn into mud if wet.
California won’t even allow use of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks in earthquake zones, and although those are largely air they’re relatively strong. Elon’s spoil bricks wouldn’t have been anywhere near as strong.
Also, why does he act like re-using dug-out material in concrete is some revolutionary new idea? Not for stupid bricks but the concrete lining of the dub-out tunnel itself, most long tunnels built in the Alps in the last two decades and presently re-use a lot of the dug-out material. For example, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (the world's longest rail tunnel, TBMs were in use from 2002 to 2011) or the Brenner Base Tunnel (similar length, still in the works).
I don't have a phD; I don't have a masters. I don't even have a Bachelors. I do have a background in electronics, electricity, mechanics and piping. I also was brought up on reading the greats of Science fiction (Asimov, Clarke, etc) No matter if I hear Musk talk about Hyperloop or the Boring.... I cant' believe anyone actually can't see all the issues with it. The utter nonsense, the completely lack of economic viability let alone the technical issues and the safety issues, it's just so utterly devoid of grounding in reality that it's just sad. The only way to fall for it is by suspending your disbelief on such a scale that your gray matter must be leaking out of your ears.
revolutionizing the automobile industry and creating a rocket company gives him quite a bit of clout to ride on. It's why people look up to him, regardless of his snake oil. Results is the operative word.
Yeah, this is the same type of people who trust TV preachers that "they have direct connection with the god". It's cult and we want to be part of one.

So often he sounds blatantly like he doesn't believe what he's saying, on top of it not being believable, and his fans just stare at him like "what a genius!"
One thing you have shown me quite clearly is that everything I heard about Musk's "ideas" was not said by the man himself. Because in the videos of him you show he always sounds like the most uncertain man on earth, who has no idea if he even believes what he is saying and is trying to remember what someone else told him about the topic.
Absolutely agree with this. In my younger days, I always had ridiculous, unrealistic aspirations that were, in my head, revolutionary. But when it came to explaining how those ideas would actually be achieved, I would, like Musk, awkwardly babble out a bunch of jargon that made no real sense and only made me look completely uncertain and uneducated on the subject. Seems Musk is essentially a version of my young, naive, ignorant self who still managed to convince so many people to part ways with their cash.
Go figure, it seems to be the same eternal stupidity. Same way people treat scientists as prophets, and science leaders as popes. That's not how science works. Underneath its shiny edifice of working models, lays a massive foundation of falsified hypotheses, failed experiments and disasters. Same's true for inventors. That's not a bug, it's a necessity. That's something our monkey brains cannot understand. We divide the world into smart people and stupid people. Do try saying Hitler was an intelligent man (or currently, that Putin is), and see how many brains melt down at that boring statement. So the idea that visionaries will fail 90% of their work - and another 9% doesn't quite work out either - is not something people can understand. That must mean they're stupid, and so the last 1% can't work either. Alternatively, if the 1% works, that means the other 99% must also work since he's a genius and can't get it wrong.

Sometimes it will be granite though.."; "Ok, what color will they have? Can we build a nice-looking wall out of them?" - "They will be super-colorful. No control at all."; "Ok, where will these heavy bricks be delivered?" - "You need to get them out of the end of some long tunnel that we are digging. Could be everywhere and anywhere!" LOL
Lol, seriously? Lol!!! You expect quality control from anything Elon makes? Lol. 'Cause his track record has been so solid to this point, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Also like so many of Musks "genius ideas", this idea is far from new, its pretty common in tunnel boring to use the "dirt" as much as possible, for the concrete needed for the tunnel itself, road construction, sand and gravel (the dirt gets sorted) for other applications, only the unusable/unsellable stuff gets into landfill.

As a construction worker hearing someone talk about using "dirt" and mixing it with "a little bit of concrete" to form bricks that could be used for housing, please no.
If you used a specific form of dirt: Like clay, I bet you could make a pretty good brick (and you wouldn't even need the "concrete").
@@the_mowron that's what they're typically made from in part, yes, clay as well as a few other ingredients like lime and/or sand which are usually fired in a kiln. But not just your run of the mill dirt or spoiled earth you get from excavation which usually has a bunch of other material in it.
Someone should have mentioned that to the builders of Heirakonpolis, they worked for King Khasekhemwy in 2686 BCE and built the oldest unfired mud brick structure in the world, known as the Shunet-el-Zebib. Mud is wet dirt, both terms are inaccurate but I think you know that. remember there are three fractions in "dirt" The rammed earth technique is even older, you may know sections of the Great wall of China are constructed in this manner, many temples and Monasteries in Tibet and China are made with rammed earth, some 8000 yrs old. I've built several houses, some with IFC, stick framed houses are a complete joke, 100 years max for well built and well maintained units, 50 for those using osb in walls and floors- even with excellent maintenance- which most people do not undertake. Modern houses are a rip off and a scam.

Sure, there's problems, but the base idea is sound.
Biggest problem is the single car issue. We should probably chain together a bunch of cars, maybe even build our own cars that can carry lots of people at once. And if tunnels are so expensive they could just go over land unless you need to go over a mountain or something, just use a tunnel then. We could give it a cool acronym to, like the Technological Revolutionary Automated Individual Navigator. I really think this T.R.A.I.N. idea could take off.

I feel Apple set the stage for this sort of cultish behaviour. They marketed the idea that Jobs was a genius and that you too could share in that genius simply by pledging your unwavering brand loyalty (and by denying the existence of right clicks).

If ThunderF00t guesses things he will get some of them right at some point. Stand at a bus stop and guess enough times and he will predict that a bus comes.
Musk himself has stated that he is not always right and can get things wrong but does that therefore mean that he is full of crap or a fraud?
Tesla now sells 1 million cars per year and his space X business is also winning contracts and if his Starlink works he will become the world's first trillionaire.

Theranos is probably the biggest example of this. I recalled professors at her former school who she talked to thought the idea was ridiculous but media and financial speculators just bought into the hype.

As if Musk never says anything that's true. I facepalmed when he said that Spacex engineers do not see a fatal flaw in Starship design - a common bulkhead of fuel and oxidizer tanks. Therefore it cannot possibly fly. Except it's how Falcon 9, Atlas-Centaur, Saturn II/III and many other rockets were made. Other of his BS usually is not so obvious for me on a first glance but totally fall apart after a bit of research.

@@jobyy8754 I would not call him a con man. He is super optimistic, especially on timeline, oversells the things, has crazy ideas, trolls and posts stupid things on Twitter. However he gets things done, which I find the major merit. Comparing him to Elizabet Holmes of Theranos as Thunderf00t and other do is just nonsensical. She never delivered anything, nor had any chance to do so. For example take Crew dragon, done for 40% less money than Boeing has received for competing Starliner. Delivering crew to ISS for 2 years already and without problems. Starliner on other hand had two unmanned flights and first was close to destruction and ended prematurely as it was totally ridden with flaws. Second test flight had very serious hardware failures too. Not to say each Dragon flight is much cheaper too. I recall Phil claiming something like Spacex conning the government for $2.6 billion and not delivering on time but not mentioning Boeing received $4.2 billion for the same thing and not delivered 2 years later.

Perhaps you’re not aware that the Las Vegas Convention Centre Loop easily transports 25,000 to 27,000 people per day during medium sized conventions? That’s comparable to every similar sized subway around the Globe.
@@andrewfranklin4429 Where did you get those numbers from?
@@planterion7969 Hi Planterion, the 27,000 ppd figure is actually easily verifiable. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority (LVCVA) as published by numerous publications including Bloomberg and Teslarati reported earlier this year that:
“The Boring Co’s LVCC Loop rated as ‘outstanding,’ transported 15k-17k daily passengers during CES 2022”
“the Boring Company’s tunnel system successfully moved 25,000 to 27,000 passengers daily around the Las Vegas Convention Center campus during SEMA in November. SEMA was the Convention Center and the LVCC Loop’s first full-facility show with 114,000 attendees.”
@@andrewfranklin4429 Alright, that‘s an inefficient system. I believe you that those numbers are correct, but those are peak capacity numbers. The subway numbers you are comparing them to are averages across regular days. The S-Bahn in Stuttgart for example moves comparable amounts of people on a regular day, but it rarely operates at full capacity. And you want to compare capacities, right? A standard train there can comfortably fit about 500 people, even more if needed. One arrives every 5 - 10 minutes at most stations. (calculated with 10 min intervals) that gives it a capacity of 72.000 people a day. During busy times there are 5 min intervals, where the S-Bahn can theoretically carry 6000 people every hour
@@planterion7969 Hi Planterion, not sure why you believe 27,000 to be a peak value for the Loop as that 25,000 to 27,000 people per day is just the range during a medium-sized event (SEMA 2021 had 114,000 attendees) at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
The Loop has yet to see what the ridership will be like during large conventions such as the pre-pandemic CES which boasted 180,000 attendees in its heyday. That is the sort of event the Loop was designed to handle.
Yes, theoretically, with a 5 minute headway, the S-Bahn could move 6,000 people per hour down the line. However, the Loop EVs are arriving and leaving from each bay every 30 seconds which with 10 bays per station means an EV is leaving each station down to every 3 seconds.
That gives us 1,200 EVs per hour. Across all three stations, that’s 3,600 EVs per hour.
So with 2.5 passengers per EV, that is 3,000 people per hour per station or 9,000 people per hour across all three.
With 4 people per EV, that is up to 14,400 people per hour.
And of course, if the Loop needed to boost capacity, they could simply add higher capacity EV vans or buses on high-demand routes. With 16-passenger EV vans (or the pods shown in the Boring Co’s promotional videos), you’re looking at potential capacities of 57,600 people per hour.

I think it will happen just as soon as Musk kills an entire crew when Starship's engine's fail to ignite to land. All rockets fail, it's a statistical fact, and when you are counting on those engines to stop you from slamming into the ground instead of landing you get dead crew members. There is a reason no one but cartoons and movies have landed manned rockets like that, and no the moon does not count the gravity there is lower and therefore it is a much easier (though still very dangerous) task to accomplish, though even there, when I have attempted to build something as tall and skinny as Starship and land it on the Mun in Kerbal Space Program it has more often than not topped over. The most basic landing craft stategy is a wide base and squat height so that you can more easily achieve (or even be guaranteed) balance.

Contrary to what most people believe, liars make sure to look you in the eyes and don't really sweat or stutter that much.
To catch a liar you have to know that he has a story full of holes and out of order.
Therefore, when he's telling his lie, he's all over the place with chronology, going back and forth to pluck holes in his story.
One more thing to watch for, the intonation at the end of the sentences, sometimes it sounds like an inflected laughter, sometimes like an interrogation or an exclamation tone that's out of place.
It's truly shocking how Musk is grifting through life. If you do this stuff as a small seller on the street you'll get thrown in prison or get your ass beaten by an angry client.
Yeah, yet people send him pre-order cash for products that are never going to be developed, let alone mass produced.
Or the price increase 100 times like the solar city solar roof.
He's totally mastered the art of his celebrity status. No-one appears to dare to challenge his nonsense publically for fear perhaps of the backlash from his fanboys.
He isn't going to prison yet because the rich people he is scamming are too cowardly to admit they are being scammed. Either they are afraid of all the I-told-you-so's coming their way or they are so deep underwater with their investments they have joined in the scam to delay getting caught. Elon Musk's time is going to come. It is only a matter of time. Just be patient; eventually Musk will join Elizabeth Holmes.
Seriously, can you imagine being an investor in Hyperloop? Eventually that ship is going crash and burn and all those investors will be completely screwed.
This is why there is that tunnel under Las Vegas. It is proof Musk tried; proof he believed it would work. But in a court of law a jury may see it differently. Elon Musk is one whistleblower away from being in handcuffs. All it will take is one insider mediocre profile individual with a good attorney and it is game over for Musk.
America's a free country. If you got the money to pay for that freedom the laws will ignore you until you can't pay anymore
It's fun to see the different parts of Musk talking where he is making stuff up on the spot.
But the thing is if you are stupid enough to believe some of what Musk is saying, then this is where Musk has the advantage, thus his fans.
I guess a premium, exclusive, low volume, impractical taxi service using expensive luxury cars makes sense when you have an infinite amount of money.
That cult has become Jonestown in Guyana now that he’s bought Twitter. Elon is literally the sentient version of the Rick and Morty Twitter IQ meme.
11:02 Anyone else notice the name 'Godot Tunnel Boring Machine'? Godot is a character from the play 'Waiting for Godot', whom the other characters spend the whole play waiting for. Godot literally never arrives, and none of the other characters can obtain anything more than the vaguest information about what Godot even looks like. The idea that the tunneler machine was called Godot.... welll to me that puts a whole new spin on the story!
I'd recommend checking the wikipedia page on the play out while holding in mind the name of that tunneling machine!
Godot is named Godot because it was an off-the-shelf Tunnel Boring Machine that was just s slow as the other TBMs in the industry. ie. terribly slow.
Since then however, TBC has built and been using several generations of completely in-house designed and constructed TBMs called Prufrock 1, 2 and 3 which are significantly faster thanks to being able to construct the tunnel,lining simultaneously with boring as well as being able to “porpoise” in and out of the ground without re uiring expensive, time-consuming launch and reception pits.
"the tunnel will pay for itself"
Brick: costs 200$
Color me unsuprised, you won't pay for hundreds of workers, heavy machinery use and maintenance and materials with 10 cents bricks.
You gotta hand it to Musk. He might be right. If every Musk fanboy pre-orders 100 bricks for $200/pop, he can just ship them all bags of loose dirt and they will all say "well, this is a good first step", and they will eagerly await the next pre-order opportunity.
@@Dziaji "some assembly required"
Oh and a refractory kiln (sold separately)
Every time I see a Musk presentation I have the impression that he's making it up as he goes along, with anxious staff listening in, worrying as he cooks up yet another idea that they then have to deliver..
I think they’re used to not having to even meet his ridiculous made-up BS anymore. Failure after failure, staged demonstrations and moving the goalposts is just SOP for him. He’ll come up with some other BS to fund the next ponzai, largely using public funds.
This guy is a genius con man.
I almost spit my drink all over my computer monitor, when I heard that guy saying that he spent 200 bucks for ONE brick. And then I almost sprayed my screen AGAIN, when he said, that he bought another one.
You mentioning "Death Trap" got me thinking, how German policies for fire-safety exits regarding tunnels for cars would have screwed this project.
I think this project would be nailed as soon as the fire inspector tried to open the door while inside the tunnel
No worries, even as bad as the USA is, even their absurd lax inadequate safety regulations will never let this exist in real life.
Yes, now for the coup-de-grâce of this whole shenanigan:
Supposedly, we have the same requirement!
Kind of makes you wonder what kind of government we actually have, anyway?
@@porcus123
While musk's pseudo-subway will never succeed & could never meet existing safety laws...
You'll find that specifically, the inability to open the exterior door during travel will not be the limiter. Actually most current accepted methods don't allow a user to open an exterior door during travel.
Obviously, there's a big difference between that & not being able to evacuate in an emergency, which is the bigger issues here.
Musk's problem is that even after a disaster, they still can't safely evacuate people. However, even that is pretty minor relative to the fact that nobody can survive any disaster, no matter how minimal.
Yeah, musk is a lying scam artist. He has never come up with anything of his own. All he does is steal the work of others. So naturally, his bs won't come true.
That said, the proof musk is an idiot, is that when deciding which ideas to steal, he stole the nonviable ones. We've known for ages how to do these things, that's why these ideas originally failed, in the 1st place.
It's all the more absurd because we already have infinitely better ways to do this, without any of musk's stolen ideas.
@@no_rubbernecking "coup-de-grâce"
I speak French. I can say _coup de grâce_ just fine. Why do I read it as _coop duh grass_ every time in an English context?
Kramer said it best, “You don’t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle!”
It makes you wonder when you look at tesla shares, how many other companies on the stock market are built on nothing but hopes and dreams, and maybe cool computer graphics.
Rumor has it, on a quiet night, you can hear the man in the hole sing menacingly: " The cars... in the well.... go up... and down"
Didn't we solve "the trasport problem" when all the worlds leaders in early 2020 told us to stay at home? traffic congestion dissapeared overnight. Elon is trying to sell more travel as the solution to too much travel.
Exactly! At least half the workforce could work from home. Perhaps much more
Yes yes yes. If anything good came out of the kungflu is it showed many people can work very effectively from home or at least hybrid, no longer burning dinosaur bones and sitting in streams of traffic
I mean somewhat? Yes there are plenty of people, most of whom live in large towns and cities, who don't need a car. But there are still people who do need one either to get to work or to just survive like myself for example. But I get the feeling you already knew that.
@@James-oo1yq I think that number may be a bit optimistic, unless most jobs are software dev or office now.
That’s not a permanent solution travel is necessary whether we like it or not, we can certainly minimize it, but as long as people need things travel will be required.
The boat didn't sink, it merely turned into a submarine like Daddy Elon decreed!
Wheels, his comments about the use of wheels in the loop shows his level of genus. 💡
I just don’t understand. He’s an investor who often over promises. It seems all you need to do is have money and go around talking about doing “revolutionary” things and suddenly you’re a genius savior of planet earth and the human race. The pedestal this investor is on is high as the moon
The human race reeks of desperation.
That is exactly all you need. I'm surprised he hasn't said he's gonna cure cancer in 6 months.
To me he is actually one of the few people who deserve the following he has. He is getting people into space. ALL of the car makers are making electric vehicles because of Tesla. Battery tech is progressing. He has satellite internet being used in Ukraine right now designed to give the world access to the net. Those aren't light accomplishments.
@@BeachLookingGuy what have you changed?
No some major car companies are switch over completely to electric because of Tesla. The gas companies are raping us rigjt now because the feel electic vehicle is inevitable and they are getting profits now.
Who has gotten more people into space you or Elon? I guarantee he knows more of the science than you do
It's not really that he's perfect but he is moving major tech a long while people who are TH-cam warriors with no accomplishments at all are saying he didn't do enough. But that's kind of this generations thing is to always tear down the next person's accomplishments and literally done nothing.
@@Ultralightaman you LITERALLY ignored every single point i made! and went with the "what have you done" argument. NICEE
I admire Elon Must for speaking in front of a crowd about stuff where he didn't even ball park the numbers.
I'm stealing this.
How does it feel to be completely wrong.
@@216trixie are you asking Elon that?
@@ctsketch why, you fucking idiot. Elon won!
I admire him for buying Twitter at a loss and opening it up to free speech. His stupid engineering ideas? Well....no.
So wait, the bricks were made by compressing dirt, but not treating it with any kind of sealant or baking it...? So what happens when it rains??? If it's not treated or cured in any way then it's just a shaped clump of dirt which will turn into mud if wet.
California won’t even allow use of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks in earthquake zones, and although those are largely air they’re relatively strong. Elon’s spoil bricks wouldn’t have been anywhere near as strong.
I am with California on this one.
Also, why does he act like re-using dug-out material in concrete is some revolutionary new idea? Not for stupid bricks but the concrete lining of the dub-out tunnel itself, most long tunnels built in the Alps in the last two decades and presently re-use a lot of the dug-out material. For example, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (the world's longest rail tunnel, TBMs were in use from 2002 to 2011) or the Brenner Base Tunnel (similar length, still in the works).
I like how that dude says, "we've won". Like he gets a cut of the boring business. Or that musk won't rob him just as quick as anyone else.
So you missed the moment he called his prophet Elon Mosque?
"How much to go from LAX to Sherman Oaks?"
Musk - Well, since nothing has been built and I've incurred no costs, let's say, a dollar?
Ooooooh.
@@hermitoldguy6312 _Toy Story Alien voices intensify_
I don't have a phD; I don't have a masters. I don't even have a Bachelors.
I do have a background in electronics, electricity, mechanics and piping. I also was brought up on reading the greats of Science fiction (Asimov, Clarke, etc)
No matter if I hear Musk talk about Hyperloop or the Boring.... I cant' believe anyone actually can't see all the issues with it. The utter nonsense, the completely lack of economic viability let alone the technical issues and the safety issues, it's just so utterly devoid of grounding in reality that it's just sad. The only way to fall for it is by suspending your disbelief on such a scale that your gray matter must be leaking out of your ears.
His fanboys is the reason why his net worth is so high. It's a bubble waiting to burst.
revolutionizing the automobile industry and creating a rocket company gives him quite a bit of clout to ride on. It's why people look up to him, regardless of his snake oil. Results is the operative word.
@@paddington1670 but has he revolutionized the automobile industry?
@@paddington1670 revolutionized nothing
It is being revolutionized currently. Apparently you’ve never heard of an S curve.
Sorry. Finger slip.
I've got to the point in life where I've literally gave up on the human race as a whole collective so now musk fans don't bother me as much
Same lol
Yeah, this is the same type of people who trust TV preachers that "they have direct connection with the god". It's cult and we want to be part of one. Elon is selling wonderland to the people - they consume that idea and it makes them feel better about themselves and their futures. Being a "true believer" is a powerful state of mind. Religion 3.0
An actual great line from the first Men in Black somewhat applies: “A person is smart, people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it”.
I mean, there's the Artemis moon project, as well as the Iter project actually being viable.
@@JohnnyBelgium quite the opposite. Raise your own with your beliefs and have them not be elon musk fans. If not then you are letting other's stupid kids keep being fanatics without someone agaisnt them
Two days after you posted this video:
"The Boring Co., a startup founded by Elon Musk, has raised new capital to fund the billionaire investor's vision to alleviate traffic. Vy Capital and Sequoia Capital led the $675 million funding round that valued the company at about $5.7 billion, the company said in a press release Wednesday." -- WSJ
There's one born every minute.
Musk's tunnel ideas may be the worst in the history of "mass" transit.
@@SunsetGazing, you've just demonstrated that there *are* stupid questions.
@@SunsetGazing * Yay
I have been hearing the full self driving car pushed back year by year ,everytime he managed to hype the thing up without actually truly delivered it,I'm so sick of it
Even while Elon was speaking you could see he knew he was BSing , and doing it badly .
So often he sounds blatantly like he doesn't believe what he's saying, on top of it not being believable, and his fans just stare at him like "what a genius!"
OK, I'm not the only one noticing those things....
Duuuude! His face says it all.
One thing you have shown me quite clearly is that everything I heard about Musk's "ideas" was not said by the man himself.
Because in the videos of him you show he always sounds like the most uncertain man on earth, who has no idea if he even believes what he is saying and is trying to remember what someone else told him about the topic.
Musk does a lot of interviews and out of the thousands of hours of footage 30 seconds could be obtained that can give any sort of impression.
or he just makes things up on the spot
Absolutely agree with this. In my younger days, I always had ridiculous, unrealistic aspirations that were, in my head, revolutionary. But when it came to explaining how those ideas would actually be achieved, I would, like Musk, awkwardly babble out a bunch of jargon that made no real sense and only made me look completely uncertain and uneducated on the subject.
Seems Musk is essentially a version of my young, naive, ignorant self who still managed to convince so many people to part ways with their cash.
Go figure, it seems to be the same eternal stupidity. Same way people treat scientists as prophets, and science leaders as popes. That's not how science works. Underneath its shiny edifice of working models, lays a massive foundation of falsified hypotheses, failed experiments and disasters.
Same's true for inventors. That's not a bug, it's a necessity.
That's something our monkey brains cannot understand. We divide the world into smart people and stupid people. Do try saying Hitler was an intelligent man (or currently, that Putin is), and see how many brains melt down at that boring statement.
So the idea that visionaries will fail 90% of their work - and another 9% doesn't quite work out either - is not something people can understand. That must mean they're stupid, and so the last 1% can't work either. Alternatively, if the 1% works, that means the other 99% must also work since he's a genius and can't get it wrong.
@@bighands69 He is like that most of the time. He tries to impress people with empty "gee-whizz" talk but keeps drying up because he runs out of buzz words and pauses to summon up some more. It is because he is not talking about anything solid.

Wow lol... I never heard about the brick stuff. That is just hilarious. House Developer: "What material are the bricks made off?" - "Don't know, whatever we dig up..."; "What properties will they have" - "Don't know, if we are digging though limestone they might be a bit brittle. Sometimes it will be granite though.."; "Ok, what color will they have? Can we build a nice-looking wall out of them?" - "They will be super-colorful. No control at all."; "Ok, where will these heavy bricks be delivered?" - "You need to get them out of the end of some long tunnel that we are digging. Could be everywhere and anywhere!" LOL
It's especially stupid because there's already a big market for just dirt as-is
Lol, seriously? Lol!!! You expect quality control from anything Elon makes? Lol.
'Cause his track record has been so solid to this point, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@InfernosReaper he doesn't want people that know what they're doing interest, he wants people that think that it's a good idea interest
Also like so many of Musks "genius ideas", this idea is far from new, its pretty common in tunnel boring to use the "dirt" as much as possible, for the concrete needed for the tunnel itself, road construction, sand and gravel (the dirt gets sorted) for other applications, only the unusable/unsellable stuff gets into landfill.
@@wolf310ii honestly there aren't many types of dirt ya can't find *some* use for
