WE ARE DOWN 218 NOW.
>>> AND NOW THIS.
I HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT ELON
MUSK.
I DISMISSED HIM AS A SHOWMAN,
ALWAYS EAGER TO GRAB PUBLICITY
WITH OUTRAGEOUS TWEETS AND WILD

A SPACEX ROCKET LIFTS OFF WITH

TUNNEL TRANSIT AND HYPERSPEED
AND SPACEX.
I WAS WRONG.
MUSK IS A GAME CHANGER.
AS OF NOW, I THINK HE IS THE
