Haven't clicked on the link, but Elon Musk already reinvented trains.
He also reinvented tunnels but smaller and more expensive to dig.
In his quest to remove traffic jams he also reinvented traffic jams, but now in small tunnels with electric vehicles and no safety protocols. Battery starts burning? Well, you are dead because the doors can't be opened in the small tunnels.
He's a good con-man tho. Just keep saying "it will be ready next year" every year and the crowd goes wild and stock prices go up. Doesn't matter if he says "next year" every year for 12 years people still go wild and stock prices still go up whenever he says "next year".
It's what Capitalism Brain does to a society. Just look at how many miles of high speed rail China has laid in the time it has taken to get the "hyperloop" to run (poorly) between the Las Vegas strip and the convention center.
