I think the OP above is being practical as opposed to cynical. TBH, most of the demographic that followed him on FB also have insta and twitter. Most of the people i know in my age group (college age - 24) don't even use FB anymore. Theres a little joke that as soon as your parents start to use the platform its time to jump ship. On top of that, its created articles like this - which has led to even more publicity. I also wasn't aware that any of these FB pages existed but i follow them all on insta and twitter.

My thoughts exactly, practicality as opposed to cynicism. Also, what are his personal values? Who knows? Why does he bore the underground with abandon even when he acknowledges that the environmental impacts are not completely know. One study says autonomous vehicles can be as effective for congestion easing as his underground tunnels. His transportation is the next level of dependency he is creating and we are turning a blind eye to. As these corporations' services get too essential (through lobbying), there won't be any choice to #delete_boring. I respect him for what he has achieved, but too much celebrity worship is something we should all be watchful of.

  I believe that future cities shouldn’t require roads. The amount of space wasted on roads and parking can be used for better things. And if anyone hasn’t noticed (this gets brought up all the time), Musk is commercializing everything needed for colonization of the moon/Mars. Electric motors, solar energy, underground infrastructure, and space travel.

    Considering his big picture goal is "humans on more than one world", this makes perfect sense. And isn't 100% obvious.

      He's been talking about Mars since day one. It's just some people refuse to listen / believe that he really means it.
