At least this commentary is somewhat skeptical: > Unveiled in July, the project is the latest heady fantasy to emerge from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s marketing machine, garnering breathless headlines and torrents of clicks (its videos have 400m views and counting). which I expect from a respectable (to me) news site like The Guardian, but it seems like there are a lot of news sites and blogs that just report things like this so they get clicks. And of course here a commentator can muse about it and also gain page views (does The Guardian run ads, I'm behind an ad-blocker).
