Musk never had any intention of building the Hyperloop. He only needed it to help kill or substantially delay the high-speed rail project and the alternate vision of sustainable collective transportation it offered. It threatened his interests as an automaker and his elite vision of “individualized” mobility that simply worked better for him.
[...]
In the time since California started talking about high-speed rail and Elon Musk interjected with his fantasy to help sidetrack it, China moved ahead and built a network consisting of 42,000 kilometres (26,000 miles) of track. Europe is continuing to expand its own network, and Japan is building a maglev line that will run at speeds of over 500 km/h (310 mph). The first segment from Tokyo to Nagoya could open by 2027. Not to be outdone, China is working on a maglev of its own to beat its Japanese rivals. While the Hyperloop deception spread far and wide, nowhere was it stronger than in the United States. As countries around the world moved forward with real transport improvements, North Americans were distracted by the fantasies of clueless, but self-confident tech moguls. They left people trapped in their cars and denied better options to get around that people in many other parts of the world — even those that are quite a bit poorer — take for granted. Now all they can do is shovel money at automakers to try to power cars with batteries instead of internal combustion engines. They have no vision for a better, less car dependent alternative.

Hyperloop: Poised to Revolutionize Travel?
Imagine zipping between cities at speeds faster than most commercial airliners. While this might sound like science fiction, the concept of the hyperloop is rapidly moving closer to reality. A recent test in China saw a ‘floating’ hyperloop train break records, reaching a staggering 387mph (623 km/h). This breakthrough fuels speculation that hyperloops could one day revolutionize transport,…

Hyperloop One, the futuristic transportation company building tube-encased lines to zip passengers and freight from city to city at airplane-like speeds, is shutting down, according to people familiar with the situation.
Once a high-profile startup, Hyperloop One raised more than $450 million since its founding in 2014, according to PitchBook. It built a small test track near Las Vegas to develop its transportation technology, and for a time took the name Virgin Hyperloop One after Richard Branson’s Virgin invested. Virgin removed its branding after the startup decided last year to focus on cargo rather than people.
Buried halfway through: it's another failed Elon Musk venture.
Not mentioned at all: the only reason Musk proposed Hyperloop was to thwart California's high-speed rail initiative and sell more cars. You see, his alternative technology of shooting supersonic capsules through evacuated vacuum tubes would be so much better than stinky old trains.
The only problem?
None of the technology exists. All the prototypes sucked. Even after ten years and a half billion dollars.
One "prototype" is literally a one-lane concrete tunnel allowing a single Tesla automobile to travel at astonishing speeds up to 107 MPH. Technically you can drive faster than that on most american highways.
Also that's 50-100 MPH slower than the high speed rail California wanted to implement a decade ago.
And now the whole venture is quietly going away.
Unpaywalled version here.

Would love it if the press stopped reporting seriously about the random shit that Musk and Trump say. Sometimes, they just say shit to say shit. Sometimes, it's clearly a distraction. And in Musk's case, he promises some incredible futuristic leap forward like every year. It's just to convince gullible people to buy his stock or his products (or to not invest in someone else's like he did in California with the hyperloop and our high speed rail) and then once that is over, he never fulfills his promise. He couldn't even if he wanted to. My dude is still blowing up rockets (while destroying entire small towns) but thinks he wants to send a rocket to Mars? He's also got a bridge he can sell you real cheap. Wait, not a bridge. Bridges aren't the way of the future. Rocket boots so you can fly over rivers to get to work! Absolutely 100% safe rocket boots for sure.

i love how the self-titled Effective Altruists and cuntbags like musk believe that the “demographic crisis” of the 21st century is like a massive insane problem that we need to solve by farting out babies 24/7, as they said in that recent Kurzgesagt propaganda video they produced
it is capitalism that’s the problem, again. growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell. we ‘grow’ when we produce more, and our investments are based around potential growths rather than what is needed - so when alleged ‘potential’ can’t materialise, the economy collapses
we will be able to produce less when there will be less workers. future spacex neuralink hyperloop tech might soften the blow but won’t be able to change that fact
this is coming towards capitalism like a high-speed train. most executives are essentially wagies visàvis their positions as gods of the world, so systemically cannot respond to a problem more than twenty years ahead of time. but oligarchs like musk and formerly bankman-fried, with their oligarchic status seemingly made permanent (lol), become weird nutters who’ve given themselves messiah complexes about “solving” it. we must increase production always at all costs, so we must increase babies at all costs
growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell. the economy is going to shrink and we must not let this cause a world-eating depression under capitalism. we have to accept that we’re peaking, stop investing resources into growth and start investing resources into efficiency, systemic resilience, and services, and drop dead-weight unsustainable overproduction that’s killing the planet. stop even trying to grow the economy during a period of global decline - the global Very Long Boom and global Baby Boom gave a economic dividend that must be repaid
socialistic economics, redistribution, and economic democracy can let this pressure. we have to do managed decline, work towards working better with less workers and less labour, and support untold masses of pensioners. capitalism simply cannot do this. if under capitalism the economy was recessing massively, but don’t worry, in many years the ageing recession will cease and growth should resume with stability - investment simply will not go towards what is needed to improve life under the status quo and will be hedged until growth resumes, and so nothing good will ever come
that’s why the so-called “effective altruists” and muskists are so bothered about preventing what they see as demographic collapse - should it occur it’ll wreak a huge economic recession, be it slow or as a crash, and lead to a world of impoverished pensioners starving on the street. so their solution is babies at all costs, when instead we could have a world where a period of managed decline spurs reinvestment in what we have, a silver age of planet earth, a global new deal beyond measure. and when the massive wave of pensioners dies, we will have good services and sustainable economics, and enriched communities with fruitful childhoods and good educations, and yeah, we can use our growth potential to not just prevent environmental destruction (capitalism’ll’ve already triggered a lot) but do our level headed best to fix it, become the stewards of Earth that we’re abdicating ourselves as, and fuck it, have enough money to reshape the world into a happy and good place to live a life
but capitalism cannot do that. because capitalism cannot accept decline. because capitalism must have growth at any costs, and will continue to beat the dead horse until the skies darken with soot and until the baby boomers who built the longest boom are left to rot without care or food and their children are enslaved to keep the fires burning. and to bring back the boom times, it must be babies at any cost
footnote: this was mostly about economics but there’s one more angle that would’ve made a bit of a tangent. musk’s side of the coin has a massive, massive misogynistic basis. musk, the individual, is famously a total creep. people with breeding kinks can breathe a sigh of relief because he is not one of you - his is a creepy breeding obsession. he has an obsession with creating as many of his own children as possible and subscribes to the belief that a Man’s worth can be measured with his spawn. and so many of his ilk believe the same. this is how he can have child after child despite obviously not caring for them and doing his duty as a parent - parenting ten children should basically be a full time job. it takes a village: this is a village. and i don’t mean to point fingers, but with his first wife he had a set of twins via ivf and then a set of triplets via ivf, and many more children later, including after the birth of the human person he calls “X Æ A-Xii”, he had a second child with Grimes via surrogacy. this worldview undoubtedly affects his everyday misogyny and transphobia - women’s utility is as utility, trans men do iRrEvErSiBlE dAmAgE to their mere utility, and trans women go against womanhood due to having no utility. he abandoned his own fucking daughter for being trans. creepy, disgusting, indefensible - and this man is one of the gods of our world, enacting his poisonous worldview without oversight
and ragging on cunts like musk isn’t letting the “effective altruists” off the hook. their circles, as organisations or just general society, has an oft-reported massive sexism problem. multiple EA members have been accused of creating a toxic atmosphere hostile to women, of sexual misconduct, and of grooming with intention to form ‘poly relationships’, harems. an ideology of reducing humans to utility, of stressing population growth, and of getting ants in your pants about demographic crisis does not combine well with latent misogyny and the patriarchal, male near-exclusive echelons of capitalism

Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk should, in theory, have a lot in common–two tech visionaries, each revolutionizing their respective industries. But while Apple built its empire on making things easier for users, Tesla, in Wozniak’s eyes, has been doing the exact opposite. Once an enthusiastic Tesla owner, the Apple co-founder has grown disillusioned with the company and its CEO, and now, he says, Musk has personally shut him out.
Wozniak says his X account was blocked after years of publicly criticizing Musk. He believes his outspoken remarks about failed promises and questionable business practices led to the sudden restriction—despite never violating platform rules.
In a post on Bluesky last month, Wozniak wrote:
"Over years, I have a few times called Musk a liar (across the country by 2016, then 2017) and thief (money for upgrades), on national TV even. Maybe that's why my Twitter account has been blocked for a few months despite violating no rules. I can't get it fixed."
Just days later, during a CNBC interview, Wozniak doubled down, recalling how Musk repeatedly promised Tesla's self-driving technology would be ready by 2016, then pushed it to 2017. He accused Musk of misleading customers and taking their money for software that never delivered.
"He lied to us about driving himself across the country by the end of 2016 and then by the end of 2017," Wozniak said. "And he got money from us—stole money from us—to try to upgrade to the one that would do it, when they wouldn't."
He described his frustration over losing access to X, saying he went through all verification steps but couldn't regain control of his account.
"I follow every single step to prove that I'm real, really who I am, and I can't get it unblocked," he said. "I don't know if they're doing that deliberately, but I never really posted on X, I never ever violated any rule or anything. But maybe it's because I was on the wrong side of Elon."
In 2014, Wozniak was one of Tesla's biggest fans. In an interview with NBC News, he spoke about the Tesla he and his wife had purchased, saying, "We love it more than any other car we have."
But that admiration didn't last. Over time, he's soured on its technology, calling Tesla's user interface "the worst in the world." He described how updates have made basic functions harder, like accessing the glove box or finding turn signals on the yoke steering wheel.
"Nothing makes sense in that car intuitively," he said. "You have to go searching in menus until you stumble into finding it—it's horrible."
Wozniak's account remains blocked, and he claims he hasn't received an explanation. Whether intentional or not, it's clear he believes his public criticism of Musk cost him access to one of the world's largest social media platforms.
===========
FB comment:
First of all, don't ever compare the two to each other ever again. Woz was and still is a visionary, whether he's with Apple or not. Musk was and always will be an opportunist, NOT a visionary. Most of the "visionary" stuff he spews was described decades ago by actual visionaries Like Arthur C. Clarke. He didn't "found" Tesla, regardless of what documents say, because it just isn't so. Every single F$%^&*ing idea he's had he stole from someone else. If you want to compare him to someone, try Thomas Edison.
Yes is old un-updated technology, SpaceX, while making some tangible strides in rocket launches, has failed far more than it has succeeded. The Raptor rocket engine is really well done, but not due to any Elon vision, the engineers the lead SpaceX are responsible for that. The reusable rocket launch vehicle (1st stage only) was the idea of a high school student.
The Boring Co. uses decades old technology. He only formed the company to support his HyperLoop wet dream that is officially dead in the water for years now. His only goal there was to get California to drop their High Speed Rail system between LA and SF. He delayed it for sure, but the rest of the world is far ahead of us in every aspect of transportation, INCLUDING high speed rail service that is actually high speed, reliable, cost effective and affordable for riders between major anchor cities.
His satellite "WEB" is a means of information control, nothing more. Canada, Mexico and Brazil have all cancelled current and future contracts. The Steves saw a rudimentary GUI at Xerox's PARC laboratory and refined it for the Apple II and Macintosh lines. Bill Gates was late to that party as well, even though he saw the GUI demo at the same time, because he really didn't know how to make it work.
Until the 2000's, Windows was always operating on top/in front of MS-DOS. It was always very clunky and inefficient compared to Apple's OS. Musk's claim to fame was a very rudimentary video game and Pay-Pal. He claimed to be a master gamer but has been exposed as a charlatan in that arena as well.. His Ketamine induced wet dreams are all really failures, even his CyberTruck. Full self driving using just visual cameras will never be "a thing" and the rest of the world has already moved far beyond that.

Imagine that it is May 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump has just finished bulldozing the entire U.S. interstate system, because Elon Musk decreed that highways are wasteful and the country should run on hyperloops. No hyperloops currently exist, and the entire nation requires the interstate system to function, but that is deemed irrelevant. For months prior, Deep Interstate tried desperately to draw attention to the range of public needs that roads fill, how critical highways are to national security, and how rash it would be to squander the decades of bipartisan work—and the billions of taxpayer dollars—that went into constructing them. But Deep Interstate has been labeled untrustworthy, existing only to protect its own interests and undermine the administration.
By July, hyperloop construction is facing years of delays. Construction supplies are stuck in warehouses while workers are consistently late or absent: The local roads have become too congested to allow the efficient passage of even critical materials or employees. To transport supplies long distances, beleaguered investors discover that they will need to build a giant system of high-speed roadways connecting localities.
Bulldozing the highways, it turns out, has catastrophically complicated hyperloop expansion—even though those highways had never been designed to support hyperloop construction, let alone optimize it. But hyperloop experts maintained that efficiency and innovation demanded their destruction.
If that hypothetical sounds far-fetched, consider this: One month ago, the Trump administration was gifted a U.S diplomatic infrastructure spanning 271 embassies, consulates, and missions, as well as a foreign assistance infrastructure reaching more than 170 countries through approximately $68 billion in foreign assistance funding in 2024 alone. The United States’ vast reach was no accident: Building it required half a century of bipartisan collaboration and hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. Only one country enjoyed a larger footprint: China.
Despite that, through a breathtaking failure of imagination and an even greater failure of checks and balances, this administration has terminated U.S.-backed agreements across thousands of markets and dozens of sectors, showing no concern for immediate and catastrophic impacts, legality, constitutional authorities, the long-term destabilization of emerging markets, or even the safety of its own employees.
As of Feb. 25, anywhere from 5,800 to 14,000 U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staff have been placed on leave or laid off. A claimed “waiver” program for USAID and State Department foreign assistance programs is non-operational in practice. Embassies, where most employees are local staff, have been ordered to make cuts. The country’s hard-won reputation as a reliable, trustworthy, and rule-abiding partner is teetering on the brink. It’s bulldozers all around.
Such destruction is a seismic, unforced error. We are at the advent of a new technological age of artificial intelligence, in which the United States must seize every opportunity to protect and expand its competitive advantage. Scale is the U.S. government’s untapped superpower.
By treating the country’s vast diplomatic presence and foreign assistance infrastructure as expendable “soft power,” the Trump administration misses two hard truths about protecting geopolitical power in the age of AI: first, that speed depends on scale; and second, that models require markets.
The United States’ untapped superpower in the AI race is not the so-called innovation economy, or an unregulated market. Those have been leveraged. Rather, it is the sheer scale of the U.S. government’s global presence, and how that could be used to turbocharge America’s global leadership in the AI race.
Moreover, the ability to build markets—not just individual AI models—will determine which nation’s technology dominates globally. Supporting the early and successful deployment of basic, useful AI systems across global markets will be key to protecting market entry opportunities for American AI technologies for decades to come.
The United States’ sturdy global presence provides a ready-made distribution network for AI innovation and adoption, particularly in critical sectors such as global health, food security, and climate resilience—areas where AI can drive immediate and transformative change.
Outside of better-known humanitarian and public health work, U.S. foreign assistance programs also help support anti-corruption initiatives, investigative reporting, STEM training, local entrepreneurship, free and fair elections, and rule of law—all of which underpin the political stability and due process that enhance opportunities for long-term market growth and diminish market entry risks for U.S. companies.
Finally, protecting robust U.S. diplomatic engagement at local levels optimizes for the country’s unusually large embassies: More staff on the ground means broader coverage and deeper insights than most foreign ministries can gather.
Broad reach also ensures that the United States’ scale is being used to benefit broader U.S. private sector interests. AI incumbents and Big Tech can hire local offices, lawyers, and lobbyists to support their expansion into new markets (and the new sources of data they offer for model training). Key benefits of the U.S. government’s scale accrue to “Little Tech.” The country’s start-ups and innovators are better equipped to balance the scales when taxpayer investments do the heavy lifting of building awareness of U.S. business, developing trust with local governments, and supporting broad private-public partnerships that facilitate rapid scaling.
While U.S. foreign assistance was not designed to support the expansion of these emerging technologies, it will be far faster to optimize for such expansion over this existing infrastructure. Financing structures, legal registrations, banking agreements, compliance protocols, training programs, public-private partnerships, growth strategies, and expert staff: These mechanics are core to foreign assistance implementation, and they could be adapted with relative speed to support AI deployment across markets. Notably, 11 of the United States’ top 15 export markets have been the recipients of U.S. foreign assistance funding to support their development.
A truly efficient scaling strategy for American AI would capitalize on intense recent efforts to modernize both USAID and the State Department; years of work laid important groundwork that should not be wasted. All of the country’s embassies now employ officials charged with cyber and digital policy in alignment with a new global foreign-affairs strategy expressly designed to reassert U.S. leadership in the digital age. USAID launched a new digital strategy in 2024 to achieve a similar transformation.
In addition, AI dominance will depend not just on market presence but also on compute power, semiconductor access, and cloud infrastructure. While technological expertise in those areas is mission critical to American AI expansion, so too is the technical expertise required to develop partnerships with governments and communities around the world. U.S. development agencies are ideally situated to house the private-public partnerships that could launch the country’s innovators—and not just its largest tech companies—into markets around the globe. Chinese President Xi Jinping understands that assignment. For more than a decade, the Chinese government has demonstrated how deeply it appreciates the competitive advantage that global presence confers in the digital age. Between 2013 and 2022, China invested $679 billion in infrastructure projects through its Belt and Road Initiative across nearly 150 countries. These investments have not only bolstered China’s global influence but also created dependencies with long-term strategic implications.
In particular, China’s Digital Silk Road initiative has invested billions in 5G, fiber-optic cables, and data centers across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Those investments, notably, have also created unsustainable debt in many recipient nations, giving China greater influence over local decisions.
As a result, many governments around the world are less than eager to lean on Chinese development support. But in a vacuum of U.S. offerings—and with limited domestic capacity to grow absent foreign support—they may see no alternative. Whether through announcing a multimillion dollar de-mining initiative in Cambodia or joining a global declaration at the recent AI Action Summit which the United States sat out, China is already demonstrating that it can pounce to fill the sinkholes that the Trump administration’s policies have created, even if it won’t fully bridge the global gap.
By 2030, AI infrastructure markets in Africa and Southeast Asia will be worth approximately $50 billion. Undermining America’s diplomacy and foreign assistance infrastructure kneecaps the deployment of U.S. AI innovation at the exact moment when the government’s scale could have been leveraged to turbocharge it. American investors and technology leaders should consider how much harder it will be to build markets where U.S. embassies increasingly lack influence, access, or insights.
Critically, as China fills the development hole that this administration has dug, the Chinese Communist Party will not only deepen its first mover advantage in AI deployment, but also be positioned to condition continued development assistance on nations’ refusing to engage with U.S. industry, possibly denying American businesses access to local manufacturing capabilities or even banning importation of American-made products or services.
Foreign officials can already see what technology leaders may be missing: The U.S. government is bulldozing its global infrastructure so quickly that it is leaving American industry with rubble rather than glide paths, much less a hyperloop.
This may be one reason that Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech at the mid-February AI Action Summit in Paris rang both hostile and hollow when he insisted that the Trump administration “will ensure that American AI technology continues to be the gold standard worldwide, and we are the partner of choice for other foreign countries and certainly businesses as they expand their own use of AI.” Actions speak louder than words, and while Trump could have leaned into the unique competitive advantage the U.S. government’s existing scale provided, his administration is instead now well down the path of converting that advantage into equally scaled risk.
Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio can still course-correct to rebuild some trust in U.S. promises and rule of law. Rubio needs to conduct a coherent, good faith, State Department-led review of foreign assistance investments in order to determine how best to align existing work with this administration’s foreign-policy goals, including the ones that Vance has enumerated. Taking a more deliberative approach in the short term will protect the infrastructure needed to support future innovation at speed and scale. Equally importantly, it will reassure the world that U.S. agreements—be they public or private—can still be trusted.
Absent such proof, partnering with Xi to build out global AI systems will make abundant sense to many governments, including those that house lucrative markets. China’s diplomatic reach and development footprint are not accidental; they are reflective of a government that understands the value of investing in infrastructure and then capturing the market efficiencies that can be gained by building on top of it.
Thanks to the past month, Beijing is better positioned than ever to match that scale with speed. Perhaps it will even invest in new models akin to hyperloops and make progress there as well. The geopolitical AI race will be won by those who had the wisdom to protect their highways and turn them all into express lanes.

Elon was trying to gas up his shitty Hyperloop and in response Trump was saying “Yeah, I heard about these things they call them ‘bullet trains.’ They’re incredibly fast and comfortable and we don’t have anything like that. It’s not fair that we don’t have that.”
This is honestly amazing. Trump doesn’t even understand what the Hyperloop is so he’s advocating for high-speed rail instead of the shit-tunnel.

believe it or not some people cant afford cars. seriously, trying to say ppl in poverty or disabled online are lying because???? i dont know what the fuck you were thinking
Hi! That's not what I said! I said a car is not something that makes you rich! 60k is not a rich person car! Just because you have it worse, does not mean that everyone else is rich! This is the line of thought unfortunately what causes class infighting
It is not your neighbors fault you are disabled and in poverty. That doesn't make someone working for 12 dollars an hour rich, nor the person making 15, 20, 40, even 50. These people are all 1 step away from being just like you. Sometimes it takes them a couple months or years as treatments eat up their savings. But they're not your enemy.
Look at the CEO, look at the stockholders holding 20% of a company urging for higher profits, look at the billionaires buying their way into companies and ruining YOUR infrastructure on purpose (Elon Musk is a huge one - California should know what im talking about, just look at Boeing and their safety, AI startups and attempting to release it as a commercial replacement for artists).
These people are blood clots upon the economy, sucking up wealth in singular areas, and not allowing communities to improve while divising ways to further isolate you. California was supposed to have a high speed railway - Elon Musk literally stopped it for his Hyperloop, which will never be completed. The same thing is now occurring in Las Vegas as SEVERAL train ways attempt to make a high-speed railway here. Further isolating people from the hope of moving from here after they gamble away their life after having some medication, or some crisis, or something.
And the worst part is that this is how capitalism at core is designed, and cannot be stopped without either 1) A cap on income or capital or 2) Severe heavy taxing for the ultra wealthy - flat tax no loopholes. It's designed for infinite growth, which in a post industrial society where people don't really like having many kids - we now reach our pop flatline (and I'm doing my part, I don't want kids at all really)... and that means infinite growth just simply cannot happen. At maximum efficiency infinite growth doesn't work.
And this is not just happening in my country, this is happening in Europe, some middle eastern countries that have adopted capitalism, idk about Canada - I'm sorry Canadians I don't pay enough attention to you other than your apparent similar targeting of natives.
So look out for people who want to target that, even locally. One state adopted a tax on millionaires, people making over a million a year, and raked in revenue beyond belief. The goal is to get people in there with the mindset of "fix the cause, not the symptom" and have people use that tax to not fund the fucking cops but instead education programs for free to create more social workers, more nurses, more teachers, and eliminate the debt people have to go into to START a job. Maybe even stipend people as they go through education, pay people to fill in gaps. We literally have a plane pilot shortage because you have to go almost a 100k into debt to just start if you don't have the money to build up hours. Free food programs, free medical care, free anything to survive.
Or you could make a bigger splash like the fellow in New York but for legal reasons I'm not advising or instructing anyone to do any such thing ever. I totally do not agree with praxis, or something like that.
Anyway the solution starts not at wanting your neighbors blood, but at everyone trying to share their blood - and hope that others share back. And ends with elimination of blood clots upon our body, so that we may free up more blood for everyone to share.
