Okay, that one is hard to grok either way. Confinity and x.com merged, the resulting company, still Confinity, made Elon the CEO, where he was 6 months later fired for incompetence. Elon was the founder of x.com, but not Confinity, so it's more about how pedantic you want to be than anything else. Did the Confinity people found paypal, was it Thiel, under whom the name paypal came about, was it Musk? There's not really a clear answer one way or the other.

Given the short distance it goes and the fact that it has human drivers currently...I'm doubtful it's going to scale at all. In its current iteration, a small train would have been better in just about every way. I wouldn't praise it for what it will be, praise it for what it is, because Elon Musk loves to promise the moon and stars and not deliver on those promises.

What is the capacity of the Vegas loop as compared to, say, an extra small subway or even an aboveground streetcar?

Industry gives off greenhouse gasses that cause more sunlight to be trapped. It also gives off aerosols that reflect the light before it gets there, but those are in lesser amounts. This proposal is to release more of those aerosols into the atmosphere to counteract the effects of global warming. "Blocking out the sun" is just a clickbait headline. Read the article.

I'd have recommended KRename personally. It uses some programming-esque stuff (format specifiers for stuff), but it's not exactly difficult to do advanced stuff with it.

The actress portraying Elaine is actually a pretty close look-alike.
