Is there any purpose to paying other than to get posts boosted? If not why not introduce preferred customer/bot pricing with an arms race of tiers

They want to get paid by Twitter because users post links to its website in thier posts? That doesn’t sound right to me. 

According to legislation passed in France in 2019 on "neighbouring rights", the major social networks have an obligation to start discussions with the media that have requested them with a view to obtaining remuneration in return for the dissemination of their content on said platform. An obligation to which, according to AFP, X absolutely does not want to submit. For a reason expressed by Elon Musk, directly on his platform. Translated Link

Yes, it is a track with teslas. The tunnels are smaller and are dug much faster/cheaper than typical boring machines. So that is the sauce.

 

The original plan was an autonomous tram. Personally I am pretty sure the autonomous part of it would work fine in the tunnel (AP lane keep and tacc work flawlessly) I don’t think it can handle the parking/station yet so that’s why they aren’t autonomous. 

 

I don’t think the boring company tunnels can accommodate track, and as for why they aren’t using an electric tram, I feel like it is a marketing tool for Teslas.

 

not a waste of time though, has been quite a success so far.

But in order to be viable many places they got to get the tram figured out.

 

The Boring Company will dig a 68-mile tunnel network under Las Vegas

 

Other municipalities might have soured on Musk's tunnels, but Las Vegas hasn't.
 

Elon Musk's tunneling company has permission to significantly expand its operations under the city of Las Vegas. Last month, the Las Vegas City Council voted unanimously to approve the Boring Company's plan to dig more tunnels under the city, following in the steps of Clark County, which in May gave a similar thumbs-up to the tunneling concern. The company's plan calls for 68 miles of tunnels and 81 stations, served by a fleet of Tesla electric vehicles, each able to carry three passengers at a time.

 

Despite the unanimous approval, Mayor Carolyn Goldman had a litany of concerns, including safety, low throughput of passengers, and a lack of accessibility. However, she said that "hotels are begging for transportation options."

 

The Boring Company owes its origin to a traffic jam that ensnared Musk in 2016. Incensed by having to sit behind other drivers, the billionaire decided the solution should be a network of private tunnels under cities, perhaps taking inspiration from Mad Magazine or the Usborne Book of the Future.

 

As is often the case, Musk's plans were fanciful, verging on the outlandish. The tunnels were originally planned to carry high-speed magnetically levitating trains in near-vacuum, a concept called the Hyperloop. In 2017, Musk even claimed that he had government approval to dig a tunnel between Washington, DC, and New York City and that the journey would take just 29 minutes.

 

The following year, Ars got its first experience of a Boring Company tunnel in person when we visited a 1.1-mile test tunnel in Los Angeles. By that time, any thoughts of maglev or even mass transit had evaporated. Instead of carrying lots of passengers at hundreds of miles an hour, a Tesla Model X was pressed into service, driving down the bumpy roadway at 45 mph.

Wait, Elon Musk made ludicrous and wildly misleading claims about something his company was going to do that ended up being false?

 

I am shocked.

They really should be able to work on a high capacity tram…. But they are supply constrained

The billionaire wrote on X – formerly Twitter – on Sunday that their highly anticipated cage fight will be live-streamed on X. Musk did not provide further details on when this would happen and Zuckerberg is yet to weigh in on his comments. 

 

"Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X," Musk wrote. "All proceeds will go to charity for veterans."  

 

Musk also said Sunday that he is gearing up to go head-to-head with the Meta chief by "lifting weights throughout the day."

 

The X owner said he brings weights to work because doesn't "have time to work out." He was seen doing a bicep curl Friday in a bizarre live-stream video on X to test out the platform's feature. He lifted up the dumbbell and said: "This is me curling a 45 so there you go."
