Everything about trains and railroads

I feel like I've heard attempts at this from over a decade ago... doubting I'll see this within my lifetime at this point.
That's what the Hyperloop was for. California was attempting high speed rail, Musk thought a functional rail infrastructure would lower demand for his shitty cars, so he proposed his own alternative. The state accepted, cancelled the rail project, and he proceeded to cancel the Hyperloop because he never intended to build it, it was just a scheme to trick the state into leaving its rail infrastructure in the 19th century.
He's like King Midas, except everything he touches turns to trash...
