This has not been 'leaked', somebody wrote an opinion piece asserting it to be the case without any serious evidence.
- elabajaba 4y agoElon told his biographer that he came up with hyperloop to kill plans for California high speed rail.
- panick21_ 4y agoNo he didn't. In fact you can read a whole article with that biographer where he disagrees with the article. What Elon actually said is that if California (in his opinion the most advanced place in the world) would invest so much in a system, it should be world leading and novel. I think Musk is wrong about that and Hyperloop isn't actually better then HSR but there is no reason to just make up a conspiracy.

- panick21_ 4y agoThe actual biographer disagrees with the opinion of that author. And being for cancellation (something money people want) of HSR is not the same 'hyperloop was made up as grift to get HSR canceled.
