Attached: 1 image 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. https://newrepublic.com/article/174089/big-tech-watching-drive #tech #transport #elonmusk #transportation #hyperloop #trains

      Can you elaborate? Do you mean them shipping cars via truck instead of train? What is paved over? Railroad intersections?
