Apparently all Musk wanted to do with this was undercut any attempts at high speed rail in California.

    True, but 98% of that land is uninhabitable/uninhabited. If counted the area where you have more then one person per 200 miles, Australia would be much much smaller then California. The entire population is centered in 5 cities. Which is reflected pretty decently with the Australian population being 10 million people less then California.

    It’s like how Canada is the second largest country in the world, but no one takes them seriously because it’s all uninhabited wastes.

    I was referring more to African and European states.

      How to make an American lose their shit? Suggest parts of their country seem small.

      Maybe you could do some self crit about why you have such a wild response to someone saying that California is smaller than popularly depicted.

      Not responding to the other points in your post because they’re equally weird and wrong.

        Idk where you’re going with this. California could be a pretty regular medium sized country by size. Obviously it’s not, but it’s not that big of a deal lol.

          Yeah, I’d say if California was in Europe (having been to Europe and looking at the comparison to China), it would be a fairly large European country.

          My mental conception of California was a lot larger.

        I’m not an American smartass. Maybe you can do some self crit as to why you’re so hostile about absolutely nothing.
