Don't forget defrauding the federal and state of California governments to get them to pull funding from vitally needed high-speed rail projects because it would hurt Tesla's bottom line. Fucking hyperloop.

California HSR has been a zombie project for a while. Even before Musk was a factor, there were annual plans but nothing ever got done, year after year. It's probably going to take intercity projects to become popular and economical for something as ambitious as long-range passenger rail to actually receive serious attention.
