This guy's Twitter is the definition of bazinga: just endless posts of how everything can be solved with cool magic future tech. I'm shocked he actually admitted the Hyperloop is a failure.

He didn't admit that it's a failure, just that they failed. They "got close." The hyperloop cannot fail, it can only be failed

It sounds like he's saying the hyperloop failed because of drama and external reasons. Not because it was, in essence, a fictional project never meant to worm.
