    Elon Musk is why America doesn’t have 5 minute cities and rail transport? He’s only been politically active for a handful of years dude

      Before he was “politically active” he was a billionaire making his money off of selling cars. One of the way he achieved that was by buying up contracts for high-speed rail projects and then not building them, or turning them into an entirely different car-centric thing (like his tunnel in vegas). Elon Musk didn’t SUDDENLY become a piece of shit when Trump was elected, he took advantage of that fact to be a bigger piece of shit.

      So Yeah. He is. Or at least one of them.
