> I would still be curious what he means by shooting himself in the foot.

I'd guess it's something to do with the fact on a Tesla earnings call, which has nothing to do with hyperloop, someone brought it up.

He is already doing a herculean feet with the work on SpaceX and Tesla, from an investors point of view you want to make sure he isn't going to ditch Tesla for this other transport project.

In that context his comment makes sense.
