I never knew of the Hyperloop or how shady the whole thing seems, and/or Musk himself.
But after this weekend seeing the non-hyper-loop for the Las Vegas convention center, I've been laughing at it, and worrying about it. Then there's all the money.

Too bad that if the car catches fire (it is good that electric cars never do that), then you are a toast.
All the stupid praise is annoying. Traditional tunnel construction companies can build this thing just as cheap and fast if they are allowed to disregard 50 years worth of safety requirements.
And here is another optimization - skip all the OSHA stuff and also hire children. Way cheaper that way.
But here is good news - it will fall into disrepair and will be abandoned in a few years.

So essentially they've built a tremendously expensive tunnel to run a fleet of taxicabs!
