The US has lost its ability to build efficient public transit decades ago to cost disease, stakeholder influence and regulation creep. Most cities only have scruffy unreliable buses, which are mostly just used by the poor.

It is so bad that even Uber pool can often already compete on price, and outcompete on safety, cleanliness, comfort, speed, convenience and utility. Better mass transit will have to route around the broken utilities. Fleets of autonomous electric street pods look promising.

You really cannot compare the situation in the US with Europe or Japan. Cities are spread out and are already built for individual transit, and there is little funding for public infrastructure, and creating a mile of subway in LA would be like building a new airport for Berlin.

I do, too, and I suspect that Musks basic premise is correct. It is often much more expensive and less successful to improve an existing, broken system than to build something new from scratch. It is btw what he did all the time, with great success

Absolutely. But Musk's intention must be to create public momentum by delivering a visionary narrative. A proper analysis cannot do that. (The method is the creation of visionary pull that drags reality ~5 to 30 percent of the way into the utopian direction.)
