Are you really saying that Elon is the reason America doesn’t have high speed rail?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 41 points 3 months ago

I'd say Elon is a symptom of an underlying problem which is relying on private capital to provide infrastructure.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 months ago

he is indeed a part of a problem. Car manufacturers have been quite responsible for dismantling America's public transportation infrastructure.

He's a reason, but not a total one by any stretch

Sounds ridiculous to me. If politicians didn't decide on the rail system because of elon, it's still a problem caused by the politicians
