He does other stuff other than express opinions too. If I remember correctly he is leading privatized space exploration, bringing about the electric car revolution, and tunnel boring.

So idk, maybe someone who is focusing on quickly building tunnels might be helpful.

Sounds like he's sending a team to figure out if they can do anything to help. It's great he's trying to help, kinda sad that his main motivation is probably self promotion. I say let the guy have his attention if there's any chance it will help. It won't change my opinion of him anymore than Gates' recent philanthropy has changed my opinion of him.
