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.

I don’t, I find so many Marxists online who think via magical thinking the proletariat is just gonna rise up and be better than the status quo. China and USSR failed and are now hellscapes when it comes to liberty and human rights. We have compromises like those in the Scandinavian countries where it’s not perfect, but people generally have good health care, freedom, and generally a good standard of living. Those are the extremes in modern governments. I think the USA can do better, but we are much better off than Russians and Chinese, so far.
