>>10227756He probably just used the Hyperloop idea in conjunction with the Boring Company as a justification to bypass LA's traffic congestion. He over-promised an idea to california so local governments would cut the red tape and allow him to bore tunnels get to where he and his friends wanted to go. Naturally, there would be no subterranean network of hyperloop or fast car-lanes to get help alleviate traffic congestion, but Musk and his pals can get to where they need to go without having to wait and on the tax-payer dime to build and maintain.
Well, to build at least. The tunnels will be privatized and maintained through the use of tolls once they become unsustainable or the tax-payer wises up. He'll get government help building his little tunnels or private highways, have the government help maintain them for a bit and then they'll become toll roads.
