Good morning
@taylorswift13
. Tomorrow we're introducing our new all-electric trains to the public & thought you'd like to stop by before you go to work.
These new trains will reduce air pollution by more than 90%, & offer passengers more frequency. We know: that's huge.
DM us.

Dirty stuff.
Musk admitted Hyperloop was about getting legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California. He had no plans to build it
Musk said public transit was “a pain in the ass” where you’re surrounded by strangers, including possible serial killers

The issue at stake is daily operations funding (fuel, crew wages, admin). Electrification is already paid for through Federal, State and local funds. Good question.
