The concept of a transportation system in a low-pressure tube was proposed in 2013 by Elon Musk, who called it Hyperloop, but his company focusing on developing the system - Hyperloop One - was shut down at the end of 2023, Reuters has reported.

The official website of UK-based Virgin showed that its Virgin Hyperloop made its first successful passenger test in 2020.

Is this hy🅱️er🅱️🅾️🅾️🅱️ but better and real?

A transport system in a low pressure tube has been a concept since 1799 and the only thing Elon did was slap an epic bacon name on the idea

lol yeah this is the concept implemented by people who actually have a clue as opposed to being pitched by a snake oil salesman
