Musk has used Hyperloop to effectively kill multiple mass transit projects around the US. He goes, in, promises the world, and the more mundane projects that would have actually worked lose the bidding process. Musk's companies then don't live up to their part of the bargain, because they never could, and nothing ends up getting done. This is one example from Chicago:
Musk tried to sell the city on technology that didn’t exist and disparaged the very concept of public transit; his proposal was never built.
That was one of several incidents that helped urban planners and transportation professionals understand that Musk held few compunctions about lying and lacked regard for the public services that make our society function.
While Musk’s Boring Company promised multiple cities it could solve congestion, so far it has built very little, with the exception of some tunnels in Las Vegas where cars can drive at a few dozen miles per hour from one parking-garage-like structure to another.
Transportation Professionals Saw Elon Musk’s Lies and Disdain for the Public Firsthand.
We can't sit on the sidelines now.
