No idea what your "government pocket book" comment is meant to convey (and don't care, obvious troll), but you are correct that Musk doesn't "have a hyperloop". He never intended to. This was something he fostered to try and get others to build. It worked. Others are building and testing using their own funds.
I'm not trolling. I'm being honest. He won a multi billion dollar contract deal from NASA, has a half billion dollar contract with the Air Force, got near a billion dollar contract for a "solar city" from New York's state government, gets environmental government tax credits raining down upon his company, and got Nevada to give him something like over a billion dollars in tax credits. He's a money-guy (contractor speak). Which is someone that knows how to play politics and win contracts (dirty business).This hyperloop shit is just one more avenue. I actually admire his talents.
