The man is working very hard to rapidly destroy every single bit of hype and goodwill he has built up in the past.

I'm not even American or in America and I'm mad he derailed the chances of the USA having high-speed rail all for this half-assed hyper-loop project. Switzerland already considered a similar project (Swiss Metro) and despite lots of experience in making tunnels and railways, it was dismissed as unfeasible.
