He promised hyperloop. He built tunnels.

You have great infrastructure. I've ridden Renfe and TrenItalia as well as many undergrounds in Europe. I dont see how this could possibly replace existing high speed infrastructure. New lines could potentially work to connect the Baltics and Scandinavia or other places that currently rely on ferries....but most of the cost comes from preparing the tunnels themselves. Lastly, existing designs would be far simpler to implement.

Hyperloop is a ticket to nowhere. The bulk of Elon's wealth is in Tesla, which is in direct competition with public transport systems. Hyperloop in Vegas was a distraction and killed off a real and feasible public transport system. Now Vegas is stuck with a crummy monorail and a hole in the ground with a few Tesla's in it.
