Stock down 7.5% today after 10/10 Robotaxi event. Elon arrives nearly an hour late and showed off concepts of a plan of cybercab and cyberbus.

Trains are for poor people and there's no "disrupting the industry" to hype up to investors.

Plus trains need tracks and getting easements is expensive and complicated.

Especially when we had many many times the amount of track in the States than we do now. The big railroad companies have a monopoly and squeeze profit with the smallest overhead so bye bye existing infrastructure. Railroads should be nationalized.

Imagine if states build railroads like they built highways...
