Topic	Elon Musk admits Hyperloop goal was to fuck over high speed rail plans in CA

Frankly, the tunnels are the least of the problems. The infrastructure to run the whole thing is. Well, minus the absolutely pathetic (and I'm talking orders of magnitude here) throughput. It's to the point that even if implementation was free it would still cost more in a year than trains would to do the same thing. Hyperloops, under all current proposed conditions, are worse period. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!"
