    I had the idea for Hyperloop when I was 12. Elon too, but he has the track record where he could convince people he could actually build it.

    Time out it’s not a very good idea though.

      You and elon will just have to legally fight out the question of who invented the idea of building specific infrastructurally distinct transit ways specific to a certain type of vehicle optimised for transporting goods and people along those railroad tracks I mean hyperloops.

    Actually no.
    Realistically, I was never going to capitalize on the idea anyway. but on top of that if someone else has already had the idea and it’s at least mildly successful then boom: automatic validation that it was a good idea.
