The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.

The High Speed Rail project is still underway. It’s been hit by endless cost increases and delays, but it’s still happening — Musk didn’t succeed there. Initial operation for the first segment (Bakersfield to Merced) is, rather depressingly, planned for the early 2030s.
The delays and cost overruns are ridiculous but also absolutely standard for the US. This country is atrocious at building anything more advanced than a single building.
