This. We'd have a high speed rail going between San Diego and Seattle by now if Mush hadn't gotten everyone exploring hyperloop (a concept we've known to be terrible for over a century now).
As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

And at this point, who is going to listen to anything he says and think that they'd want him having any kind of control over something he talks about even if it does sound like a good idea?
I love how people listened to Elon when he doesn't even have an engineering degree. Proof that the media can spin anyone into a celebrity "genius."
God the memes of Elon hate are reaching unbearable proportions. Where was any work about to be done before Elon put a stop to it?
You'll need to a get a new hobby that isn't meming musk.
