I saw that. The suspicion that Hitler didn't actually like train travel and came up with ideas like super-broad gauge and giant tunneling that would make it unfeasable for many years was his way of getting the future he wanted, which would be more autobahn based.

In America GM just took over tram manufacturing and killed it. Instant car and bus sales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy

Well, trust busting had a role. People thought they were doing right in breaking the “electric cab trust” who held the internal combustion engine and sat on that—when the court ruled that it only pertained to the Otto type engine…that was the nail in the coffin. Sen. Warren needs to leave Elon alone…or she will do the same mistake. Let her go after Buffet. About half of the taxes Musk will pay will go to the military, and a lot of the rest to Social Security.

Money he could have spent on solar city, electric cars, etc.

Bezos has done nothing but hurt Old and New Space alike. Go soak him instead.

Bezos has flown more private citizens past the Karman Line now than anyone in history. I don't call that hurting space.
