  • They 100% do! But the marketing departments always likes to have “solid” arguments at hand.

    How else can they organise fairs and conferences where they can lament about how poor the automakers are and how pressure from are pulling prices down so automakers cannot compete… how they have to fire people and move production in poorer countries where people can be treated more like slaves… how profits are so low that they have to use the same jets with the same bitches twice!

    Hyoerloop is not a scam just because The con man proposed it with the intent of stopping a high speed rail road project.

    It’s a scam also because:

    • the idea is not his. It’s 100 years old and has been tackled by other before him.
    • it’s impossible to be build from the technical point of view.
    • even if you do manage to miraculously built it it won’t be economically feasible.
    • in the lasts years it’s starting to be obvious that if it’s backed by Musk it’s a scam in some degree, shape or form. (see also Solar Cities, Tesla, The Loop and the Boring company, etc.)
