It might be instructive to imagine what would have to change about USA to allow 200mph trains. (real ones, not hypothetical BS like Elon's tubes)

- imtringued 6y agoElon musk promised 155mph for the LA tunnel. In reality you are down to 40mph. Off by 4x. If Elon Musk promises 800mph in the Hyperloop expect to cut off 75% off that so its back to 200mph. Why even bother? It's not like he has any special insight, the only thing he has is the ability to throw money at random projects. The only things Elon Musk does well are incremental improvements over existing technology, that's not a bad thing but he always throws out bullshit promises that he can do it 10x cheaper or fares only cost one dollar.
