That's the average Elon Musk fanboy for you.
Not to be a downer, but I would be happy if they could figure out how to run trains at 30mph and on a regular schedule. If anyone has a bulletproof system for this, please contact the MBTA.
Shouldn’t we work on just getting our normal trains to be maintenanced regularly so we don’t keep getting derailments?
In my previous life I was an FRA certified Conductor and Engineer for Union Pacific. If FritzyBoy does anything it will be to remove the conductor and leave just the engineer and hope PTC doesn't wreck on every grade it comes across, that or ripping the train apart.
They were already trying to do that shit while I was with them and then they decided to go with this 'precision railroading' stuff and removed something like 16,000 rules, allowed train crews to shove without announced protection and a bunch of other shit.
I called all the train wrecks back in 2016 when they started whining about profits and stripping rules. Nothing that has happened is surprising to those of us that have worked in the industry. It's pure greed

That would be great but the point is that this technology will be available but implementing it effectively is another matter. We have the capability and technology to do so many things right now that fall short due to management failures including but not limited to lack of budget for instance.
America already doesn't build high speed railway. Why is it going to build one guy's stupid one person subway?
This is how you end up spending billions of dollars on a Tesla in a tube.
Has anyone found out yet how to build and operate a vacuum tube several hundred kilometers long?
Yes, but not how to not die when it inevitably springs a leak.
The Hyperloop is one of the dumbest things proposed by Elon... It's unfeasible rn, dangerous if not done perfectly and would cost so much to implement anywhere where existing rail infrastructure already exists that it's insane they're still thinking about doing something like this...
We can’t fund school lunches but we are going to build this? Nah bro…… this isnt on the priority list.
As someone who was recently ripped to shreds for suggesting children > missiles, I’d keep that commie “feeding children” stuff to yourself. /s
What are you even talking about dude… I’m not drawing comparisons here but we can’t even do some basic shit with education. This is a solution in search of a problem.
Fuck school lunches I want this. I hate flying
If Elon Musk is involved, hard pass.
More hype to promote his stock. It will never happen.

Submission Statement:
Hyperloop technology is a proposed ultra-high-speed mode of transportation that could revolutionize how people travel, offering speeds of up to 700 miles per hour with minimal carbon emissions. In this Interesting Engineering interview with the president of HYPED, a student initiative dedicated to making hyperloop technology a reality, we learn about the cutting-edge technology and prototypes being developed, as well as the potential benefits and obstacles to the hyperloop's implementation. From reducing long-distance traffic to acting as a transportation safety net during natural disasters, hyperloop technology has the potential to transform how we live and move, and it's exciting to see how student-led initiatives like HYPED are driving the technology forward.
