£100 billion is an awful lot of money.

 

That's £100,000 every single day for 2700 years!

That puts it into perspective very well.

 

It's also around £3k for every UK taxpayer.

Elon is asked about the future of travel and how virtual reality headsets are now indistinguishable from reality, so why do we need to travel to business meetings or be the salesman on the road. This would take a lot of the necessity for fast transport out of the equation.  Heavy transport does not need to be fast, just well organised.

On  similar note a local business guy who spends his life going to meetings all over the world reckoned the money could buy high speed broadband for everyone in the country so making us all closer. Not sure I am ready for VR a world but he may have had a point
