Cultcow Russell Greer / Mr. Green / @ just_some_dude_named_russell29 / A Safer Nevada PAC - Swift-Obsessed Sex Pest, Convicted of E-Stalking, "Eggshell Skull Plaintiff" Pro Se Litigant, Homeless, aspiring brothel owner

[Walking Clock]

As a Simpsons fan, how exactly does he expect this monorail thing to work out for him?

Monorail = Monorail

PAC = Give me $800,000,000

This concludes Russ’ intensively researched legal argument.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

Walk away from an autistic songwriting contest and come back to a Mongorail plot. Good Lord, Russell.

People always say on the crypto threads on Bidness how they just happen to sell right before said coin starts rocketing in value.

I feel like that is the Greer thread.
A day or two after you forget to check his thread you see his antics on the site banner.

i dont know very much about it but i believe the idea they had (or musk had it and sold it to them idk) was to dig a bunch of tunnels under the city, put single-lane roads inside these tunnels, and have self driving tesla cars drive through them all day. it sounded very dumb to me, i don't really get why they don't just put regular underground railway in these tunnels instead of elons meme cars, i guess the city planners were just easily impressed by teslas marketing team

I was going to reply to report that sanity had prevailed and they'd opted for light rail, but then I actually went and checked. JFC the lunatics actually built fucking Tesla tunnels under the convention center and they just gave final approval to commence construction of a new "Vegas Loop" that will eventually expand to 29 miles in length.

The craziest part is they're not even self-driving yet. Each fucking car has to have a driver. Also, each tunnel is single-lane with no emergency lanes or even room for pedestrians in an emergency.

They've already built a 1.9 mile loop under the Las Vegas Convention Center, and holy shit, what a clusterfuck it is. There are only 11 cars in the whole system and they're restricted to 35mph. It's supposed to move 4,400 people per hour with 62 cars operating, but fire regulations have cut that down to just 11, and it's only moving 1,200 people per hour at most. Gizmodo are being smarmy faggots about it, but to my imperial irritation they happen to be right on this occasion. Hilariously, you can just roll your own Tesla right into the tunnels without their security systems flipping their shit. That was supposedly fixed. But then again the loop was supposed to move 4.4k people per hour, too.

Supposedly the upcoming "Vegas Loop" will use a specialized Tesla Model 3 that can hold 16 people (holy shit, that's going to be a sardine can on wheels) but god damn, that's abysmal throughput. Musk may be a brilliant con man, but most of his actual "innovations" fucking suck.

so they built a massive system of tunnels under their city, and now they're being used exclusively by a couple of very expensive luxury taxis?

And why do people think Elon Musk is some sort of genius? He's good at paying other people to do smart things, and he takes the credit. He fucked Grimes for crying out loud. He can't be that smart.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

Just imagine Russ as a politician. Picture the scene. The horror. The way he’d absolutely abuse the power of the position to force everything with a vagina to suck him his penis. That’s what this creepy little goblin is after. He doesn’t give a toss about politics in the same way he doesn’t give a toss about law, despite claiming he does - he just sees them both as easy ways to make people (women) do as he says.

I can also see him trying to use his power to (try to) get around Section 230 and bring the Kiwi Orchards down.

He fucked Grimes AND Amber Heard.
Elon defo sticks his dick in crazy.

They are only authorized to build the tunnels under certain publicly owned streets. they can’t cross under private property. So once again the tunnel routes are useless, insane and stupid. So somehow the city council is killing this one off while laundering money through and from Musk.

And Grimes can bleed money from him until their kid is 18. And she's got enough of her own money from her music she can afford a lawyer to make him miserable, yeah, he could fight her, but it's probably easier to negotiate child support and have him set up a trust fund for the kiddo and a monthly stipend to Grimes. She's crazy, but she's not stupid.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Is Russel even aware of Musk? Could he see this as yet another 80s romcom LARP with him as the John Cusack character taking on big money and winning one for the pipsqueak?

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

Russ is just using PACs to get his toes wet for his real goal, which is to run for some sort of office (a redemption arc from when that dumb, unpopular BITCH stole the class president election from him back in high school). He'll run for mayor for Las Vegas, or for congress so he can legalize prostitution and/or rape.

 

[TurdFondler]

They Hyperloop was supposed to be some kind of pneumatic maglev thing that went at a bajillion miles a minute or whatever, but that was too retarded to be implemented so now it's underground private roads.

So it's still retarded?

 

[moocow]

It's so bizarre that he wanted to build maglevs in tunnels for "efficiency" purposes when we've already got pretty cost-effective maglevs operating commercially above ground. Even fucking China's got them working reliably. They've got one running between Shanghai's international airport and the city itself, covering 19 miles in 7-8 minutes with a top speed of 270mph. Remarkably (especially considering the "high standards" of Chinese workmanship and construction), there's only been one major disruption of service throughout its 20 years of operation, and that only shut things down for an hour. Admittedly that particular line isn't profitable, but it was built as a proof-of-concept and they knew going in that it wouldn't make its money back. It did prove the whole thing was doable though.

And all of that shit was built 20 years ago and it works just fine without vacuum-sealed, depressurized underground tubes and pressurized cars that have to carry fucking life support equipment and oxygen to keep their passengers alive during regular operation. Talk about over-engineered, yeesh.

But it's high tech!

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Elon's a fucking autist so it makes sense.

Where is Russ getting money for all of his ventures?

Probably working two jobs. He's worked as many as three at once to save up for his hooker expeditions. He has no hobbies, he has no friends, all he has is drool and rage, so what else would he spend his time on?

 

[Dyn]

i don't really get why they don't just put regular underground railway in these tunnels instead of elons meme cars, i guess the city planners

Trains are for poor people, and Vegas is built on convincing stupid poor people they're rich enough to throw their money away.

 

[Non-Threatening Niall]

Can't go back to sleep and couldn't help it. Someone please send melatonin or a gram of hash.

Yes, but is it web scale?
