In a hyperloop system, which uses magnetic levitation to allow near-silent travel, a trip between New York and Washington would take just 30 minutes - twice as fast as a commercial jet flight and four times faster than a high-speed train.

I see Musk propaganda wasn't wasted on Reuters.

Personally I preferred Bloomberg’s presentation but they’re paywalled to hell

Not surprising since it's Bloomberg. Just to clarify- I wasn't criticizing you, just Reuters.

I wasn’t criticizing you

No worries, I didn’t read it that way.

Oh, trains plus vacuums didn't work? What a surprise. Anybody with a primary school level understanding of physics knew this would happen.
