there is a risk of a bad accident that could be bad pr. that risk exists with or without the arrogance. elon musk has a high tolerance for calculated risk. that's why he's a billionaire and you and i are 2nd guessing him on hacker news.

Or maybe he will crash and burn with that calculated risk. "that's why he's a billionaire and you and i are 2nd guessing him on hacker news." There are billionaires (or close to it) on hacker news btw. Of course if one of those "billionaires" went out and said something like that that wouldn't go over to well would it? Would you like a commenter on HN to say something like "well that's why you are driving a used Yugo and I am driving a brand new Lamborghini that I paid cash for?" as justification for why they know something or are somehow better than you are?
