It's hard to imagine that there are still fans of Elon Musk's work out there these days. However, they do exist — especially when it comes to his pre-Twitter investments. Despite many pointing out the flaws and poor craftmanship of the Tesla, there are still plenty of devotees to the vehicle, as well as Mr. Musk's other innovations surrounding the travel from points A to B. 

The Vegas Loop has been open to the public since 2021, promising an efficient way to travel by car that bypasses traffic through going underground. The whole thing sounds like a solution to a problem that might be better solved by public transport, but that hasn't stopped people like @ecommross from being impressed. When his review of the travel option landed on Twitter, people had a lot of things to say about the whole thing. Spoiler alert: it wasn't exactly complimentary. Just because there are multicolored lights doesn't mean that this is the future of transport.

    Font - Roflkopt3r @T33K3SS3LCH3N • 3d Replying to @UrOrientalist Normal car lanes are already the worst mode of transportation. The loop promised 4,400 ppl/hour, but the absolute peak was 1,355.... in both ways combined. Even the smallest rail system would have 10-20x the capacity. Passenger Capacity of different Transport Modes Passengers per hour on 3.5m wide lanes in the city - 1,000 average passengers/hour - 1,000 potential passengers/hour 1,500 2,000 mixed traffic 5,000 regular bus 9,000 BR

    Font - **** @SwampCommunist Replying to @UrOrientalist It's so funny to me that this thing requires like 10x the staffing of a run down subway system that hasn't been touched for 30 years and services a million people vs this thing maybe servicing 100
