Elon Musk Finally Reveals His Vision For An 800 MPH Hyperloop

August 12th, 2013 | by Christopher DeMorro

Last month Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk created quite a stir when he mentioned a concept he had been mulling over called the “hyperloop”. At a tenth of the cost of high-speed rail, but around four-times fast, the hyperloop is the kind of 21st century science-fiction we’ve come to expect from Musk, but don’t expect him to build the hyperloop anytime soon

Elon Musk with PandoDaily's Sarah Lacy

PandoDaily's Fireside Chat with Elon Musk
