The guy is an idiot who LITERALLY got fired for incompetence as CEO.in the past. He is a scammer and should be treated as such, so no, people aren't shitting too much on him. If anything, they aren't shitting enough, there are still way too many oblivious fan boys out there that think he is a genius. He's not.

Anything he says that makes sense engineering wise usually comes from someone on his team, anything else is just outrageously stupid, and clearly from his "genius mind" like this blurb/cert/tweet whatever the hell its supposed to be called.

Don't forget defrauding the federal and state of California governments to get them to pull funding from vitally needed high-speed rail projects because it would hurt Tesla's bottom line. Fucking hyperloop.

California HSR has been a zombie project for a while. Even before Musk was a factor, there were annual plans but nothing ever got done, year after year. It's probably going to take intercity projects to become popular and economical for something as ambitious as long-range passenger rail to actually receive serious attention.
