RE:Musk's visionary ideasYour comments and attitude are precisely what Blockbuster Video said when NetFlix come onto the scene.
Many people today do not know who/what Blockbuster Video is/was...do you?
Your comments and attitude are also a relfection of what Sears said about Amazon. In case you have not heard, Sears Canada is now bankrupt and Sears USA is next.
Another example...what about Blackberry when the iPhone came on the scene? This is particulaly relevant because Blackberry is a Canadian company...just like Bombardier.
Get the point??
We live in an era where either you disrupt or you get disrupted.

Some of his ideas are so out there that I cannot see them ever coming to fruition. This Boring machine being one of them. Robotic digging machine - kinda cool idea. What happens when it hits water? Can it adapt to different underground conditions?
Then of course is the stuff to put in the tunnel. With all the engineering expertise and experiences of Bombardier and the others in building systems including ALL the PROBLEMS why does Musk think his concept will work without issues? Better to create his boring machine and subcontract the rolling stock etc to experienced builders like Bombardier.
I cannot see this as any threat to Bombardier at all, not now nor in near future.
