He actually has outlined exactly what's wrong with these ideas. I mean the hyperloop was supposed to be "like an air hockey table", well guess what, musk now "advocates for wheels"... It's just a really bad and unworkable idea. The idea of 1000km long vacuum tubes is beyond stupid, when we already have high speed rail. Please tell me how stating these facts are "small minded" or "pessimistic".

His main point is usually about the massive unwarranted hype and blind hero worship around these concepts, and usually scams (the water stuff and other kickstarter projects).

The truth hurts, I guess.

I never mentioned hyperloop. Again this is the level of reply I would expect of Thunderf00t. You can do better
This relates to hyperloop "Elon Musk Invents UNDERGROUND Traffic Jam!"
That video is about the Boring Company. They are making tunnels not hyperloops
