Some are already speculating that Musk may have gotten the sign off from White House senior advisor (and Trump son-in-law) Jared Kushner’s office of American Innovation, which has expressed interest in the hyperloop.

I just talked to the New York MTA about this. Press aide is so flabbergasted that they're asking me to spell Elon Musk's name for them. LINK

Elon Musk ? @elonmusk
Still a lot of work needed to receive formal approval, but am optimistic that will occur rapidly

It did 15 years ago when I saw it on Modern Marvels, but those worked very slowly, moving only maybe 10-20ft per day. He must have invented a faster model.

I saw a show on PBS about putting in new tracks and stations in London. They used a boring/shoring machine that was getting something like 80 ft/day.

I just find it funny how so many media outlets go out of their way to suck this guy's dick so much.

I think he's pretty benevolent, but fame can be a powerful motivator.
