综合美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）和《纽约时报》报道，当地时间3月6日，在摩根士丹利科技会议的线上讲话中，担任白宫顾问的美国亿万富豪马斯克批评了美国铁路客运的落后，认为应该将美国邮政和美国国家铁路客运公司私有化。
他还对比了中美两国客运铁路的情况，称中国高铁“令人惊叹”，而美国的铁路客运则“令人尴尬”。
Elon Musk says that he believes the US Postal Service and Amtrak need to be privatized and that "we should privatize anything that can reasonably be privatized." Speaking virtually at the Morgan Stanley Technology Media & Telecom conference, Musk said it's "kind of embarrassing" how other countries have "way better passenger rail than we do," giving the example of bullet trains in China.
马斯克在讲话中说，“如果你去中国，你会体验到惊人的高铁之旅，它们太棒了”。他同时表示：“当你回到美国，你会觉得，美铁的情况很糟糕。”马斯克还说：“如果你来自其他国家，请不要使用我们的国家铁路，这会给你留下对美国非常不好的印象。”
"Amtrak is a sad situation. It’s like, if you're coming from another country, please don't use our national rail. It can leave you with a very bad impression of America," Musk said.

《纽约时报》介绍道，中国高铁的速度至少为每小时186英里（约300公里），而美国最快的客运列车Acela快车，最高时速约为150英里（约241公里）。
China's trains, which are subsidized by the communist government and have produced large public debts, link every large Chinese city and run at speeds of at least 186 miles per hour. Amtrak's northeastern Acela, the fastest American passenger train, tops out at about 150 mph, according to New York Times.
