As a counterpoint here is mine

Except way off peak it’s faster to take bart than drive (north berkeley to downtown SF). I usually take a trans bay bus when going to office (closer to my house) which is $6 one way. BART is like $8. (So round trip under $20). Vs driving is $8 for the bay bridge and then somewhere between $20 and $60 to park for the day (no free parking at my office).

It’s impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can’t control everybody’s backups.

I moved to the bay area in 2012, absolutely hated Musk back then and thought all of his success was hanging onto other’s coattails and good timing (which fair enough, is a skill + huge privilege in and of itself, but isn’t the same as inventing/engineering) but he was really popular here. He continued to reveal himself to be more and more of a shitheel over the years and I got to slowly see everybody I knew and worked with eventually come around to the same opinion I had held for more than a decade.
