He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars. https://newrepublic.com/article/174089/big-tech-watching-drive #tech #transport #elonmusk #transportation #hyperloop #trains

    The quote from that biography is “It seemed that Musk…” - Using the phrase “Musk admitted” Is quite directly a lie.

    The admission was never part of the original biography, nor the source article this is linking to. It was specifically added by the tooter, and was completely unnecessary.

      It almost feels intentional since it seems to detail f discussion any time this is posted. I’m sure it’s just incompetence though.
