To be fair here, Musk is not capable of providing any sort of assessment as to the feasibility given his credentials. The scam was to propose the technology as an alternative to high speed rail in California, with the goal of neither being built by causing confusion with an apparent alternative. He did this because he sells cars and is beyond rich, so any form of public transit is reprehensible and a business threat to him.
So for the same reasons, I think any hyperloop proposal is not even worth acknowledging until someone proves the technology and establishes cost. We should put zero public attention to anyone who proposes any until then.
