Virgin Hyperloop - First Passenger Test
So they sat in the test pod for hours while they vacuumed out the air?
I didn't see any hatch on the tube itself... not that they needed a vacuum to get to 100mph... hyperloop such a waste of money.
I'm a big fan of Elon Musk, but this idea is a flop at best, and disaster-waiting-to-happen at worst.
Meet the Tesla Cybertruck

Musk has called his vehicle the "Blade Runner truck"
Source please. I can't find anything that says he mentions Blade Runner regarding the car.
I read it was from The James Bond Car (Lotus) in the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. A car he purchased at auction. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-inspired-james-bond-lotus-elon-musk-won-auction-2019-11

He got the idea from the Blade Runner car.

Isn't this basically the story of Elon Musk?
He never founded the successful companies he takes credit for. He invested in them and then ousted the founders. I don't think all the exact details matter but it's fairly safe to say that any image of him as a genius Engineer and Inventor is purely fabricated by him. It would be more true to say that he's a self-promoter who can screw people over without conscience.
That's not to say that he isn't brilliant in his self-promotion.
Tony Stark he is not.
Edison was a well known patent and credit thief.

The InSight probe flew 300-Million-Miles.
To give you an idea how far that is, that's from Earth to Elon Musk's future home on Mars where his Tesla car will be waiting for him in the driveway.

Falcon Heavy & Starman | Inspiring New SpaceX Video
Golly sir, I sure am glad you’re here to explain it to me, but just for shits and giggles, let me take a stab at it.
Elon Musk wants to make humanity a multi-planet species, otherwise we are at risk of some kind of planet wide extinction level event. Having looked at the problem, he thinks the fundamental issue is one of economics. If he can get the price per person for a trip to Mars down to $500k, he figures he’ll get enough mad, bad and rich AF people to give forming a colony a go.
But that first step from earth to orbit is motherfucking expensive and aside from crazy unproven tech like a space elevator, thanks to the Tyranny of the Rocket Equation there really isn’t a cheap way to do this in terms of energy expenditure.
Ok, thinks Elon, what’s the other major cost in this whole shooting things into space gig? Hmm, the big fucking rocket costs a lot... be nice if we could reuse that instead of building a new one each time.
So he works on building a reusable rocket, and after many hilarious videos of “rapid unscheduled disassembly”, fuck me if the damn thing doesn’t start to stick the landing!
So now we need to do the same, but with a bigger rocket and a heavier payload. Can’t really risk an actual payload (see previous video of RUD) so what to do?
Well, the sensible, cost effective thing would be just a big heavy weight. But that’s got fuck all viral marketing appeal, so if you’re gonna shoot something into space as part of a multi billion dollar rocket program, what’s a measly couple of hundred k compared to the millions in free advertising for both Tesla and SpaceX this will generate!
Well, look at that. Turns out I do understand this!
But if think sending an expensive sports car into space WASN’T a frivolous waste of money, I invite you to spend time with someone sleeping rough or a family who doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from.
As I said, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it, but don’t pretend this was anything other than a billionaire doing something insanely cool and expensive because he thought it was cool.
If you think this was frivolous and a waste of money then you really don't understand the intent and the possible benefit of this.
