I'm not trolling. I'm being honest. He won a multi billion dollar contract deal from NASA, has a half billion dollar contract with the Air Force, got near a billion dollar contract for a "solar city" from New York's state government, gets environmental government tax credits raining down upon his company, and got Nevada to give him something like over a billion dollars in tax credits. He's a
money-guy (contractor speak). Which is someone that knows how to play politics and win contracts (dirty business).This hyperloop shit is just one more avenue. I actually admire his talents.
