Yeah, Denver being chosen just convinced me that this whole thing is pump and dump cash grab.

CDOT has this thing for "public/private partnerships" which are just thinly veiled schemes siphoning off taxpayer money. The whole US36 debacle proved to me that they aren't capable of negotiating a good deal on the part of the taxpayers.

What whole thing? The Denver partnership was made by Hyperloop One, which is just one of the companies trying to build it, and is not affiliated with Elon Musk.
Sure, 'the whole thing' being Hyperloop One in this case.
