An entrepreneur, Elon Musk, unveiled its highly-anticipated Hyperloop Transport System.
Could it be found on Sci-Fi Movies or Now with Reality? This has been trended in the tech world. How could a single man long-planned for his HyperLoop High-Speed Transport system?

In his blog post, he stated that this HyperLoop ideally could benefit anyone:
- Safer
- Faster
- Lower cost
- More convenient
- Immune to weather
- Resistant to Earthquakes
- Sustainable self-powering
- Not disruptive to those along the route
HyperLoop was first proposed by NASA in 1967 and called it Tubeflight. It was way back technically feasible but unrealistic. Though, admittedly, Musk claimed it is unrealistic to even build it for $6 billion.
Is this innovation a joke?
In an interview, Musk told Businessweek, that his Hyperloop Transportation System is powered by solar and could transport people in aluminum so could pod at the speed of 800 mph.
Hyperloop can be a reality?
