Hyoerloop is not a scam just because The con man proposed it with the intent of stopping a high speed rail road project.

It's a scam also because:

the idea is not his. It's 100 years old and has been tackled by other before him.
it's impossible to be build from the technical point of view.
even if you do manage to miraculously built it it won't be economically feasible.
in the lasts years it's starting to be obvious that if it's backed by Musk it's a scam in some degree, shape or form. (see also Solar Cities, Tesla, The Loop and the Boring company, etc.)
