The cost estimates are coming from the same person/group that has built cars and rockets.

Skepticism is fine but doesn't warrant calling off the project at this point.

The guy leading this project is someone that willfully changed his name so it has at least two "bros" in it.

That's enough to call it off.

There is no serious hyperloop project. Just pie-in-the-sky projections from someone who isn't really that serious about pursuing it.

If Elon Musk seriously cared about the Hyperloop project, his FEA simulations would have looked better than the crap I pulled in an optional class from college. His "proposal" was the most modest of sketches, and should be treated with only the same amount of rigor that Elon put into it.
