Regulators didn’t force Musk to walk back from the autonomous vehicles sales pitch to the conventional sort.
Regulators didn’t force Musk to claim advances which were already common in the field.
Regulators didn’t force Musk not to ask why everyone else charged more.
Regulators didn’t force Musk not to do any research about legal requirements.
There are valid questions about why American infrastructure projects cost so much more than the rest of the world but that doesn’t mean that Musk’s problems are the fault of anyone but him. He’s good at marketing but as we’ve seen he only turns a profit where he can get a government guarantee and has a team managing his instincts to avoid him screwing up that gravy train on a whim.
