Ey i was gonna say that! :D
How many people could it move in an hour/day? Not many, when compared to a train.
One word: throughput.
The hyperloop sucks for that. Haaaaard.
Was it out of context tho? Theres a lot of context that supports the idea that he really just doesnt care for large scale efficiency, but that he instead leans hard into what is convenient for someone in his position, or near to. The underground tesla tubes comes to mind. True, he never publically admitted to the idea that the hyperloop was meant to torpedo the train project, but it sure contributed, and now California get no train (for now), the car centric society still reigns supreme and he stands to gain by being a large share/stakeholder in the company that sells what is probs the most well known EV atm (important given its California and the general trend of EVs vs ICEs).
Not proof, but he remains suspicious as fuck.
Also, as im sure you're aware, there are a fairly sizable group of genuine apologists who pretend to be different things just to dodge criticism. So any attempt to do what you did here is auto-sus. ;p
Party of small government, right there.
EVs are nice, but still a car. And battery-production isnt entirely clean either...
Capacity, wooo!
.... and the lack thereof.
You sound a bit like a Musk apologist, ngl.
Its an alternative to jeans, stretchy or otherwise.
Didnt he basically already do that, but the trumpsterfire declined?
