Ask HN: Could this be Elon Musk's Hyperloop idea?

1. Elon Musk is the founder of SpaceX 2. SpaceX is collaborating with NASA 3. NASA has a futuristic transportation project called 'skyTran' 4. Elon Musk is working on a futuristic transportation project called 'Hyperloop' 5. Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla and interested in environment-friendly green technology 6. skyTran is an environment-friendly green technology that uses passive magnetic levitation 7. skyTran are driverless elevated pods. It is a lightweight high-speed urban rapid transit project. Unlike traditional maglev systems with skyTran there is no power used (wasted) to levitate the vehicles 8. skyTran is very "cheap", it costs a tenth of a traditional light rail system. It functions like a car and a train at the same time 9. The skyTran team - that is based at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley - said in an BBC interview in April 2013 that they are in discussions with a nearby city (hint: L.A.?) that hopes to be the first to test the system 10. Elon Musk wants to bring his Hyperloop to L.A. 11. Elon Musk is an investor in and the Chairman of SolarCity, the leading residential solar provider in the U.S. 12. skyTran's magnetic levitation system can easily be powered by clean energy sources such as solar 13.
