  No prototype - nothing even remotely close to a prototype. At least rockets and electric cars had some basis in reality before Elon started working on them.

    High-speed trains don't have a basis for reality? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen

      The hyperloop is not a high-speed train.

        The Space-X rocket isn't a rocket. The Tesla Roadster isn't an electric car. See what I did there?
        • Narretz 13y ago
          Yeah, I see that you make no sense ...
        • noselasd 13y ago
          Those two statements are however false. As is calling the hyperloop a train. If it was a (fast) train, Musk likely would not have called it a fifth mode of transportation.

      This isn't like any other high speed train in existence. The rail cars have more in common with a vtol jet than the train you linked.

    What leads you to believe that Musk is incapable of building an entirely new technology?
    • pixie_ 13y ago
      I believe Musk is perfectly capable - just as Dean Kamen is a capable, successful inventor.
