The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.

Hyperloop is such a hot mess. Everyone talks about something different, when they mention Hyperloop. There is no consensus among pro-Hyperloop and anti-Hyperloop people, what this project even would look like from a barebones conceptual perspective.
In my eyes governments see Hyperloop as some kind of prestige project. All big governments invest in it, otherwise you are not modern. America, EU, China, Arab oil states and India.
Somehow “Hyperloop” has become a political buzzword, just like “Smart City” or “Green City”.
Everyone claims to build those, everyone invests in those, but they all seem to be fantasy products, that go nowhere.

I’m starting to think we just need to rebrand green energy projects to sound more like a tech concept to trick people into liking it more.
It’s not solar, it’s LightWave.
