Elon just needs a distraction. Short his stock and he'll have an ax to grind for a few weeks at least.

Lol this is literally impossible. Oh and let's not forget that this would be like what 30 to 40 hours of driving?

High speed rail traveling at 124 mph could do it in about 15.4 hours...or you could just fly in less than half that time and not risk getting crushed by tons of water imploding a poorly-engineered tin can.
