Hyperloop, Elon Musk’s Pipe Dream, Bites the Dust

Hyperloop, Elon Musk’s Pipe Dream, Bites the Dust

SO MUCH WINNING!!!! Oh, wait...

^^Great news and wonder how much tax payer funding his venture got because they were mentioned in the $1.2Trillion Infrastructure Bill. Not that I am opposed to technology and innovation but Musk is a leach on tax payer funds.

Which of his dreams succeeded?

Tesla strike in Sweden is biggest test yet of Elon Musk’s anti-union stance

Quote:

Since October, when the technicians first went on strike, tens of thousands of workers in Northern Europe have joined the largest coordinated labor action against Tesla since its founding in 2003. Norwegian and Finnish ports have likewise closed to Tesla shipments. Danish truck drivers won’t transport Teslas through their country. Postal workers have refused to deliver license plates to new Tesla drivers in Sweden, cleaners won’t work in the company’s Swedish offices and electricians won’t service its charging points here. On Friday, Swedish waste collectors added their support, refusing to pick up from Tesla’s repair shops across the country.

The solidarity blockades have the potential to disrupt Tesla sales in Northern Europe — a relatively small market compared with the United States and China, but a wealthy and environmentally conscious one, with some of the most electric vehicles per capita in the world. Even more, though, the labor actions are being watched as a test case for global efforts to crack Musk’s strict no-unions policy.

Actions are better than words in play here. If and when Musk settles, watch out for their Fremont plant workers to rise up and make noise.

Space-X has been pretty much successful so far, Hyperloop was just a bad concept all around.
