That's an interesting concept. After the shit he's pulled with twitter, and in general, I now wonder if he was genuinely dumb enough to believe the hyperloop would be economically viable, and deferred because he had 5 young projects in flight... but he's also too egomaniacal to defer a project he believed in, so maybe it was a scam from day one, because he is a con artist.
