> If Musk was a visionary he would have built trains, not cars
Cars are not going anywhere and train lines are incredibly hard to build [1]. You have to work with the world you have, not with a perfect green field dream.
[1] You need massive amounts of connected land, a lot of it in places where land is really expensive and people are not willing to sell to you easily. Additionally, you have building restrictions (not a lot of cities will let you bulldoze hundreds of homes for your train line) and - I can't stress this enough - all of this land needs to be connected, which makes avoiding problematic areas just so much harder.
