> So for me it just a daring publicity stunt (a borderline scam IMHO), something that Elon Musk is also known to be good at.
I think this is a very unfair and cynical way of looking at it. How it is a scam? He said, he thinks its a good idea and he released basically a little concept whitepaper on what his ideas are.
He has never attempted to make any money from it, and he clearly just thinks its a good idea and that's why he put the idea out.
There is every indication that he still thinks its a promising technology. He has hinted at this but clearly Starship, Starlink, Cybertruck and so on are priority for him. From a Boring perspective the non vac tunnels, ie Loop rather then Hyperloop, seem to have a more direct opportunity in the market as these require far less technical innovation.
I for one would not be surprised if Elon tries to take to actually take this on in 3-5 years. I for one would enjoy going insane speeds from city center to city center.
Maybe you should learn the basics about a topic before trying to argue about it. The Boring company fund raiser is not based any promises about Hyperloop.
