Amazing to think that it was only a few years ago that Elon Musk was considered both credible and sane.
For a while there, it certainly seemed like he was the shadow government's puppet of choice to get a whole bunch of that clandestine tech out into the public economy in a way that would allow its backers to clip the ticket twice: firstly, when taxpayer money was allocated to the development of this technology when it was being built, and secondly via equity investment in the companies chosen to bring underground trains and such to light.
