Dude sells cars now. Of course he is against trains.

And he's pushing stuff like the Boring Tunnel that's in Las Vegas which is such a downgrade from trains. They can transport a few thousand people per hour, but also still suffer from traffic congestion, orders of magnitude worse than rail systems overseas, or something like MTA in NYC. No one should be paying attention to his suggestions for public transportation.
I'm referring to the physical impossibility of the things he suggests. Barely anybody seems to notice how entirely unfeasible his ideas are.

That's besides the fact that he makes wild claims about his car tech while they have numerous quality control issues and never live up to those claims.

He's just a profiteer and I don't know why anyone listens to him

People that prefer to be parked in tunnels rather than reading a book on a train?
