TBF Europe has been mostly capitalistic for a while now. Germany's national identiy is like half "we build cars" and yet it's the center of that gigantic railway cluster (which kind of sucks currently, because of the aforementioned "we build cars" identity and the capitalism).

Musk and his kind are the top picture. The US will not benefit from his company’s tech. Socialist systems might, eventually.
Musk is a robber baron on a massive scale.
Not really defending our horrid rail system here, but there is a massive amount of rail line missing from the US map. I work in logistics, I do a lot of rail related work.
I see this brought up often under posts like this one, and it's usually lines dedicated for freight rail, whereas all of the lines in Europe are either passenger or passenger + freight.
Europe has a thing called solidarism, but capitalism starts to win here too...
And European trains go fast right? Tell me they go fast. I just looked up the train ride from philly to nashville, 33 fucking hours and I have to switch trains once. Its not even that far! Guess Im fucking flying.
