Elon Musk has a company called Hyperloop. For a while, he pretended this was a serious venture, so serious that he actually built some short tunnels in LA and Las Vegas you can drive your Tesla through.

He did not, however, build the 10 km tunnel he promised to complete by 2020. Why? It might have something to do with the fact that Hyperloop was bullshit from the start. Musk admitted in an interview that he never intended to make Hyperlink a reality. He started the project to distract California lawmakers from a project to bring high speed rail to the state because he loves cars and hates public transportation. Cool.
