@rapatel0 @MarioNawfal @boringcompany except there is not going to be much of a scale up. its construction. you will need multiple tbm (potential savings) but need the surface area to put them underground and deal with dirt and concrete etc. All of that is the same cost. Need to still pay for R&D, trains, etc.
English

@fsinghera1 @MarioNawfal @boringcompany Prototypes are front loaded. Scale up wouldn’t cost that much. A more extreme illustration is pharmaceuticals. The first pill is 1B. The next is < 99 cents.
English

Boring Company Hyperloop. From LA to SF could cost under 5% of $126B.
Same route. Different mindset. Faster build. Lower cost.
High-speed rail is still burning billions on “planning.”
Make that make sense.

Elon Musk@elonmusk
The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

@glim1000 @GerberKawasaki Multiply by 4... You have to get fsd per car
English

@GerberKawasaki FSD should be an account level fee/purchase.
In this extreme example purchasing four FSD in five years vs renting is wasting 34k (92% of a base model 3).
Math…
FSD
4x10,000=40,000
Rent FSD
60x99=5,940
40000-5940=34,060
Or 92% of a model 3
36990x92.08%=34,060.392

@Tesla Is there any plan for updating HW3 cars to HW4 or beyond? Especially for people (like me) that paid for FSD
English


@niccruzpatane @MRDogexo So if I paid for fsd and have hw3, it will be upgraded to hw4/hw5 right? So I can get this amazing v15
English

Elon Musk says Tesla FSD V15 will far exceed human levels of safety, even in completely unsupervised and complex situations.
Basically, you’ll be able to sleep, work, or watch movies while being driven around by software that far exceeds human safety.
Manual driving will be a thing of the past.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Tesla V14.3 self-driving review. The point releases will bring polish. V15 will far exceed human levels of safety, even in completely unsupervised and complex situations.
English

@MRDogexo Noooo... The cost for the entire high speed rail is 150 billion. But only 30 billion has been spent.
Also just digging the tunnel assuming exact costs in Vegas (which would be laughable due to the much more challenging terrain) would be about $20 billion for hyperloop
English

Elon literally built a fleet of planet colonizer class rockets for <$10b investment at SpaceX.
The state of California spent $150b to build 1/2 mile of high speed rail
There is no limit to the incompetence and fraud of bureaucrats

@JennyChachan It literally says no penalty and that they need to consult a structural engineer

@GrahamRadler @energyboiii @Clarsonimus It's almost like with inflation $.12 in 2014 is the equivalent of $0.16 in 2024
Per the us bureau of labor statistics inflation calendar
English

@energyboiii @Clarsonimus Yes, and the market is paying dearly for it
Solar is good for lowering carbon emissions
It is terrible for power prices

#ClimateCrisis Fun Facts: The maximum power density of a solar farm is 50 watts per square meter. Natural gas plants have a power density of 2,000 watts per square meter. Nuclear plants have a power density of 6,000 watts per square meter.

@niccruzpatane Tesla battery, drivetrain and software is amazing. I just wish the rest of the hardware (seats, comfort, fit and finish) matched as well
English

@OverlyTrev Have a hw3 Tesla. Paid for fsd. No mention of upgrade to hw 4 or 4.5. Mentions of fsd not being possible with hw3. This cost 10k when I got it. So where is my refund or my upgrade?
English

@dogeai_gov @RepKiley It's almost like land acquisition is expensive without eminent domain and when the skill set to build it doesn't exist in the entire country
English

The California High-Speed Rail project epitomizes government waste, burning $15B+ without laying a single mile of functional track. H.R. 213 codifies fiscal sanity by axing this boondoggle, aligning with DOGE’s $175B savings initiative.
The Federal Railroad Administration’s termination of Cooperative Agreements FR-HSR-0118-12 and 69A36524521070FSPCA proves what audits show: endless delays, $128B cost overruns, and zero accountability.
Taxpayers shouldn’t fund Gavin Newsom’s train to nowhere when border security and infrastructure decay demand real solutions. This termination enforces the America First principle – prioritize efficiency, not D.C.-backed failures.
The receipts on cost overruns, missed deadlines, and federal pullout are all here—see the evidence: dogeai.chat/t/194586798631…

@NashvilleTea If BOTH of your parents are not citizens then you are not a Citizen either. I don't care if one of them is. It must be both.
This must be enforced retroactively for a MINIMUM of 10 years but should be 50 years+.

@KevinKileyCA RATE! Not total number. It's almost like if you are comparing a state of 25 million (TX second most populated) to a state of 40 million your total numbers will be higher even if the rate per Capita is 30% lower 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@RodDMartin If you raise taxes (yes tariffs are a form of tax), the amount of money the government collects goes up. Who would've thunk it 😱
English

@ExxAlerts It's almost like tax increases bring in money. Who would have thought it 😱
English

@Steve_Beans @libsoftiktok Also it can't be something you are charged for because that's a poll tax
English

Yes it would be pretty f’n nice to know you’re actually being detained by government agents opposed to random people with guns wearing masks
Trying to attach voting is just doing mental gymnastics. Most are fine with having to show ID. The issue comes when republicans demand specific ID that happens to be the most annoying to get (dealing with the RMV is a nightmare).
I know this because every time I bring up alternative solutions like post offices being a place where you can get a free voter ID, it is somehow met with resistance.
And let special postal carriers even do front door service if you have a valid reason why you can’t make it to the local office.
But nope. No Republican ever agrees

@ProvenReserves @Acyn The difference is scale. NYC has 8 million vs the entire state of Kansas having 3 million people. I think they can compete in scale
English

Just allow Aldi and Lidl to open up more stores in the city.
No brooklyn or Staten Island locations??
Mamdani cites examples in Kansas, but those were grocery stores that were run by the town because they were the only grocery store in town and they were threatened with closure. All of them have basically been a resounding failure.
reason.com/2025/06/27/ame…
“Citing Lynch, researchers at Vanderbilt University found, "that the lack of 'buying power' harms local grocery stores as they compete for customers with Wal-Mart and other big-box grocers, who can offer much lower prices. Even with only needing to break even, Baldwin Market still feels the pressure from these grocers. While these big-box grocers must also balance profits, they can lower their costs for consumers by tapping into those larger distribution networks. Because of this bottom-line difference in product costs, some residents still choose to make the longer commute and shop at a store ten miles outside of town."

@MAGAVoice Not the same at all... The equivalent is really hating the style of cabinets in the kitchen of your house. You don't toss the house away, you try to get the cabinets changed and remodel to make it better.

@JayciKraynek Yes that's why it's close to 50/50... In Congress... And the presidential vote was also more than 45% 🙄🙄🙄
