What I got from article:
Author is:
- unfriendly towards Elon Musk
- unfriendly towards people who voice ideas of what the author thinks is not their area of expertise in general.
- fond of high speed trains.
- thinking that Elon Musk wants to kill trains to sell more cars.
... oh yeah, and he has some concerns about Hyperloop estimates. Mainly that cost and disadvantages are underestimated.
Also somehow author managed to overlooked the fact that Elon Musk delivered some stuff to International Space Station, most likely at fraction of NASA cost which consist of very experienced people.
If experienced specialist tells that something in his area of expertise can be done. He's most likely right. If he says something can't be done, there's a fair chance he's wrong.
