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.

Putting my feelings of Musk to the side and he most likely wanted no other solution than Tesla cars on the road.
But…I can’t find any support for the information in the title. Journalist Vance is quoted seemingly just airing his own conclusion on what Musk wanted or not.
Do we really need this grasping for straws posts about Musk when we already have tons of better and more substantial pieces?
Musk said as much to me during a series of e-mails and phone calls leading up to the announcement. “Down the road, I might fund or advise on a Hyperloop project, but right now I can’t take my eye off the ball at either SpaceX or Tesla,” he wrote.
The full quote also includes,
[Hyperloop] was more that he wanted to show people that more creative ideas were out there for things that might actually solve problems and push the state forward.
Which to me indicates that Vance saw Musk not actually planning to build Hyperloop as somehow being a good thing.
No, no. This is the rule when dealing with people who haven’t given you reason to believe they’re acting in bad faith. Musk has been blatantly and openly acting in bad faith for years.
I heard (not verified) that Musk had really bad inconsistencies when he was explaining how the Hyperloop should work. If looks like he was making stuff up

This is modern journalism. Agenda based extrapolation for clicks.
Yeah, never attribute to malice what could be explained by ineptitude and disinterest. This is just a quote of somebody else’s opinion of musk.
