Given that the Hyperloop is failing spectacularly, "a high intellect and a good general purpose engineering training" seem empirically to not accomplish quite as much as you think they do -- although, in fairness to high intellect and good general purpose engineering training, there was never any real reason to think that they'd be able to accomplish magic.
- icebraining 10y ago1) Elon Musk is not building any Hyperloop, so I don't see how its supposed failure reflects on him. 2) Which Hyperloop is failing? There are at least three groups, and as far as I know, they haven't even got close to testing the system, let alone know if it's a failure or not. I'm skeptical of the whole concept, but declaring failure at this stage is no less silly than assuming it'll definitively work.
