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.

    My favorite American past time is gaming the government subsidy system in favor of corporations so they can get tax money for projects that go nowhere or don’t get done at all. Verizon and national broadband was a government deal so well played I think that American politicians should be hailed as heroes and awarded Medals of Honor.
