In a word, revenge: ➡️The Transportation Department said it is cancelling $175 million for four projects that are part of California's #high-speed #rail project, following cancellation of $4 billion in #federal grants for the state's ambitious high-speed rail project in July.

It's actually that 1/3 of the country fully supports his bullshit. If he wasn't supporting by at least 80 million people and likely much, much more, he would be gone. But the neanderthals love it.

Neil Mick @thornsoftristan.bsky.social

There are a lot fewer 'neanderthals' out there than you think. Many were deluded into thinking that trump would only deport the "criminals." Some bought his line about 'peace' in the Middle East (frankly that's mostly the fault of the Democrats. They left that lane open for him).

Pat H @ohmyohmyohmy.bsky.social

Still, the one thing we absolutely KNEW about him was that he wouldn't leave office peacefully. That means they KNEW he was willing to negate the votes of those who did not support him. No economy or peace in Middle East or deporting criminals twaddle can counterbalance that knowledge.

Americans are notoriously aphasic. Twenty yrs might as well be 1000. Social media makes our collective aphasia worse. Considering how little the Democrats' brought up the attempted coup during the campaign; while I am surprised it wasn't a factor, it being back-burned does track.

So Musk was successful then.

Paris Marx @parismarx . 1d The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California's high-speed rail project so it would get canceled. He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars. newrepublic.com/article/174089.. The most egregious false solution may be the Hyperloop. The modern version of the concept was proposed by Musk a decade ago as a pure hypothetical. Musk, a noted public transit hater, saw it as a way to reduce support for California's planned high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
