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.

That isn’t how it works at all. The maximum pressure difference possible in the hyperloop would be 1 atm, this is relatively easy to design around with high factors of safety. The titan was under ~300 atm of compressive stress due to the ocean which is why it imploded.
Please read what I wrote on my post more carefully.
What I stated was that the pod could be fine, because I don’t expect it to implode or explode, but the sudden deceleration from the leak (from warpage and deformation of a tube shaped vaccum chamber at that scale) will get the people inside Titan submersible’d from crashing into the pod internal walls at 350km/h, because it’s a pretty gory image that I didn’t want to type out.

That’s not what happened on Titan so saying that it is is just wrong
