> Was that Musk too? Or is overregulation destroying our ability to innovate?

Texas isn't known (to outsiders like me, at least) as burdening itself very much with regulations. It's possible that a blue city like Austin might apply extra regulation over state regulation, but still, are you sure that overzealous regulation is what prevents Texas from building transport? I would have tought complacency, nimbyism, corruption. But not regulation.

If you're right then it's pretty much game over for America, isn't it? Because almost all other states have even more regulatory pressure, right?
