    I think about this all the time. If he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world and ended world hunger, I wouldn’t even bat an eye if he also wanted to start a weird sex cult (with consenting adults). Chute dude, i’d probably sign up to incubate one of his sons.

      Tbf if he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world, he’d run out of money before finishing a single continent.

      Think about it: He doesn’t have a trillion dollars (or even a few hundred billions) in liquid cash. It’s all in the perceived value of Tesla, which is about 30x overvalued (price/earnings being around 300, 10 is considered a normal healthy value). The more electrified trains everywhere, the fewer cars needed.
