No smoking guns I suppose, but there's a fair amount of suggestion at trying to trick others.
Elon's biographer for example is on the record saying he's convinced that Elon disingenuously proposed Hyperloop and created Boring Company to spread FUD and try to weaken California's high speed rail project and other public transit proposals.
- elcritch 4y agoIt’s possible Musk is all of the above. He could genuinely believe in hyperloop and boring co as solutions and as ways to spread FUD. Actually I’d suspect it’d be very likely if he’s high on the IQ / autism spectrum as he seems to be.
- Tiktaalik 4y agoRelating to criticisms of the Boring Company and his theories around transportation, Musk is on the record himself of asserting that Induced Demand doesn't exist which is a pretty remarkable statement considering that it's effectively an uncontroversial proven fact in transportation planning circles. So at the very least, in asserting that the entire profession is dumb and wrong he is suffering from delusions of grandeur that he is smarter than he actually is.
