"Defeating traffic is the ultimate boss battle. Even the most powerful humans in the world cannot defeat traffic," Elon Musk dramatically told his 76.8 million Twitter followers yesterday evening...

Traffic has been one of the Tesla CEO's obsessions for a while...prompting his ingenious brainwave of 'Teslas in Tunnels', which would (apparently) "solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic" by shoving all his electric vehicles into an underground tunnel network. More roads, presumably more cars....less traffic?

> Tesla using Full Self-Driving Beta crashes into cycle lane bollard...weeks after Elon Musk's zero collisions claim

Anyway, Lava Sunder suggested a solution to Musk's traffic tribulations. Something a fair bit cheaper than digging out thousands of miles of tunnels too...something accessible to the vast majority of people currently sat in a traffic jam, something cheap, easy to maintain, and most importantly...which doesn't cause traffic jams.

Surely no such thing exists, right?

Congratulations to Lava on the new 'one of the most powerful humans in the world' status.

Cue the memes...

I just love the way super-rich people tell me how to run my life, while
squandering the resources I'm not supposed to consume.

Elon Musk and his 76.8 million twats can FRO.
