> Musk is doing SOMETHING, at least.
If only he was planning on doing that with his own money, I'd be fine with it. People are free to waste their money however they want.
But he can't. He plans on using public funds for this. That's a problem.

Not wanting public funds to be spent this way is a perfectly reasonable position — and it is against your government that that assertion must be made, not the private citizen holding the blueprints.
Isn't it pretty clear that these "grand enterprises" are a cheap pr trick to stay relevant and attract more investor money to his other real businesses?
I wouldn't have doubted if he had really followed through the Hyperloop thing. But after that, I wonder how anyone can fall for these things!
I am not sure. You said Hyperloop was one of his failures.
I mean, how can it be a failure, * if he hasn't never attempted to do it * !! ??
To make a project of this magnitude:
- your PR must be on point;
- you must gather the proper support;
- you must find en entry point to your problem;
- you must decide of a plan for the money in and out.
- you must do ALL that in parallel.
- and then you'll have several other projects working in parallel, and some will be better than others. And you will have to choose. But you must do the same money/power/pr gathering routing for every single one, even the ones you drops.
