Elon Musk on public transit:

"It's a pain in the ass. That's why everyone doesn't like it. And there's like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer, OK, great."

""The man trying to build tunnels around the country is awfully unimpressed by the basic concept of shared, mass transportation."

@mattdpearce: first thing I thought of was that Danish inventor guy and his private murder submarine.

@Vinncent: Thinking everyone is a serial killer is a very normal thing to do, rather than serial killer behavior. hey I'm just asking questions

@alexnpress: in musk's defense, if I'd spent years of my life working with peter thiel, I'd probably think there were a lot more serial killers in the world than there actually are

@nandelabra: There's really no way to prove that neither he nor Peter Thiel are in fact not low-rent Patrick Batemans.

@YePirateLiberal: I will eat my own hat if @elonmusk has ever ridden San Francisco's (efficient, if shabby) BART train or (quaintly adequate) Muni trolley as anything but a publicity stunt to "prove how terrible they are".

@collumbo: In fairness getting public transport to / from your hollowed out volcano can be a challenge

@MyDickerson: Have you considered that you don't hate public transit, you just hate the poor? This is so removed from the actual experience of riding the bus. You are a misanthrope.

@brandcoachkelly: Serial killers don't drive? I mean it seems that would be a better way to get away with the crime, but ok!
