"The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost, and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth."
"The real reason for the 'high speed rail' is money-laundering to bureaucrats, consultants & unions, not actually transport. That is where the billions spent so far have gone."
Elon Musk asserts that the Boring Company could construct a Hyperloop tunnel between San Francisco and Los Angeles for under 5% of the projected $126 billion cost of California's high-speed rail project. He criticizes the high-speed rail initiative as a means for bureaucratic money-laundering rather than an effective transportation solution. Experts have raised concerns about the practicality and safety of the Hyperloop concept. Musk's comments reflect broader frustrations regarding the inefficiencies in U.S. public infrastructure projects, particularly the delays and costs associated with the California rail project.
