That’s the Musk manoeuvre. Promise very big, deliver a fraction.
The Vegas finger thing was also fun for that. We’re going to make tunnels and you get there with a big car sized elevator. Scratch that, regular old escalator. We’ll have high capacity speciale build buses. Scratch that, just a normal model X. But it will drive fully automated to the tunnels. Oh, no self driving, just human drivers. So it’ll be very futuristic. Oops, just use RGB lighting then.
And he’s not going to Mars for now. In NASA’s moon mission the spaceship is basically an orbital fuel truck.
Did we go from landing on Mars to taxis? That was quick.

Nah, the Vegas thing was to stall mass transit.
That’s Hyperloop, the rebranded vactrain concept. The Vegas loop is the rebranded subway.
You know, I legitimately thought the Vegas thing was his scaled down version of hyperloop.
All the poorly conceived, improperly executed, and quickly abandoned projects just kind of blend together.
The Mierdas Touch is strong with the Musk.
And my (admittedly lacking) understanding is that the rest of the contractors on that project fucking hate working with the guy.
