And Elon has repeatedly said exactly what you have just said Corbin multiple times in front of the cameras. Somebody needs to step in so we don’t produce the slowest train at the highest price that will forever be subsidized by the people. If for no other reason than being a target that will vanish if the government can no longer afford to subsidize it one year in the future. It needs to be built correctly from the start so it is economically viable in the decades to come.

If I had billions of my own dollars invested into projects that are changing he world and making me money I would make sure my goal was accomplished in the implementation of a cleaner energy future. He did express his interest in the hyperloop and said that he will work on it in a couple of years.

If Elon has a better/faster/cheaper solution then why did he come forth with his idea before we began work on the CA HSR system?

It’s not like Elon wouldn’t be able to get Jerry Brown on the phone. It’s certainly not the case that CA has an unreasonable governor who has no interest in saving money.

Something doesn’t seem right.

Isn’t New Jersey one of the best states for solar in the US? I don’t believe high speed rails need gov’t funding. Elon Musk was talking about the mag lev project in california and he said he could build a high speed rail faster and cheaper. Obviously that project has fat that could be trimmed off but because its a gov’t funded project the likelyhood is less. Do you want your money going to something that isn’t efficient? I would rather give my money to Elon and watch him work his magic.
