    Hyperloop was invented to try to kill light rail. It succeeded at killing Maryland’s new venture and Illinois’. Neither were built because Hyperloop promised bullshit. Elon hates public transport.

      Elon’s main thing is selling cars, of course he actively opposes whatever would let people not buy a car.

      Hyperloop is against high speed rail, which is for transport between cities.

      Light rail is nicer trams so meant for transport within cities.

      Wait, what did Hyperloop kill in MD? It looks like the proposed route was from DC to Baltimore underneath MD 295 – we already have Amtrak and MARC serving that corridor.
