The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to Californiaā€™s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

    The quote from that biography is ā€œIt seemed that Muskā€¦ā€ - Using the phrase ā€œMusk admittedā€ Is quite directly a lie.

    The admission was never part of the original biography, nor the source article this is linking to. It was specifically added by the tooter, and was completely unnecessary.

      It almost feels intentional since it seems to detail f discussion any time this is posted. Iā€™m sure itā€™s just incompetence though.
