@chfrankcgn #ParisMarx is not a direct source. The direct source is #AshleyVance. Who he *actually* told he was serious about the #Hyperloop project, but that he also hoped #CAHSR would be cancelled.

When #HyperloopAlpha was released, it was presented as an "open source transportation concept", not something SpaceX/Musk planned to build themselves, and initially #TBC focused on #Loop instead. It was a few years later that TBC confirmed that they actually intended Hyperloop too.
