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.

The statement that the Hyperloop was never meant to be built was speculation by a reporter called Ashlee Vance. He said “It seemed that Musk had dished out the Hyperloop proposal just to make the public and legislators rethink the high-speed train.” There is no evidence that the initial intention behind it was malicious. I would say that effectively, he did kill many public transit projects and the article gives a couple examples, but you can’t just put pure speculation in the title. Now fewer people are gonna trust you.
I read that book years ago when Musk’s public persona was almost like he came from the future to get humanity back on track. Electric cars, solar, vertically landing spaceships, that time he opened up all of teslas patents to seemingly try and accelerate electric car adoption.
What a bummer how he turned out. That amount of money just poisons your brain. Or let him feel safe lifting the mask. Never have I done such a 180 on an individual. He was supposed to be the one good billionaire solving humanities problems.

Ashlee Vance is the author of Elon Musk’s biography … Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future
