      I give him something: the hyperloop proposal was sophisticated enough that several independent teams across the world worked on refinement and even started prototypes.

      If he actually did it as a ruse, he must have been smarter than all those people … which would be a bit concerning.

        Get real, mountains of money and one of the best PR teams (if you reply saying he didn’t have a PR team I have a bridge to sell ya) in the world is what made that happen, not an idea the majority of people involved in the sector agreeing with it. In fact if you look back you’ll find most actual public transportation experts advocated AGAINST the hyperloop as a concept.
