Wait, is the Boring Company still pursuing commercial transport via hyperloop?

Yes and no.

Yes: https://www.boringcompany.com/hyperloop

No because it's a different system than what Musk originally proposed. Virgin Hyperloop was building Musk's original idea.

What Boring Company calls a hyperloop now is a long-distance tunnel, possibly under partial vacuum, with electric cars driving really fast (600+ miles per hour).

No, they do low occupancy cars in a tunnel... Combining all of the worst things...
