I disagree with so many things in this post…

1. Commercial airline travel is significantly safer than driving on a per mile or per hour basis

2. This flight was from Dubai to Washington. I don’t think there’s any train routes between these two cities.

Then you're making a strawman just to be disagreeable without adding anything constructive:

1. I never recommended driving. It's awful for the environment and extremely unsafe.

2. Transoceanic train lines. Hyperloop or similar.

Do you have anything else to add?

> Transoceanic train lines

These don't exist, and probably won't for the foreseeable future. What should we all do until then?

internet shitposting?

Teleportation, duh!

Oh yeah, lets jump the Musk bandwagon, and wait for 100 years before he figures out how impractical it is and then go back to flying again.

Did you forget BFR, which is a variation of Starship to do intercontinental commuter trips?
