Oh yeah, also electric cars were invented in 1828 in Hungary, and orbital launchers in 1957 in Russia. Elon has such a track record of wasting time and money on stuff that already exists, hm?
That seemed to be the same pattern when he decided to build a high end car from scratch: the car industry made similar noises as Nokia did when Apple announced a smartphone. I might be pattern matching too much, but otoh Musk has institutional support.
