@throws_lemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.
Incorrect, the hyperloop always had precisely one purpose, for which it likely was pretty successful: https://jalopnik.com/did-musk-propose-hyperloop-to-stop-california-high-spee-1849402460
I don’t think the problem to be solved was “how to go fast”. It was more like “how to create travel corridors with minimal impact to private property”
