This is one of the sillier Elon conspiracy theories.

- sudosysgen 6y agoOnce Tesla is done competing with gas cars, it will also compete with trains and airplanes. Remember GM trying to scrap public transport projects?
- jcranmer 6y ago> Remember GM trying to scrap public transport projects? I'm assuming you're referring to the GM streetcar conspiracy here. What GM actually did was try to monopolize the supply of buses--which is still a form public transport. They also did buy out several streetcar lines, but the streetcar systems they bought were already bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy. There's no real difference in the trajectory of streetcars in the cities which were bought out by GM and those in the cities were they were not bought out.
