I wish people would stop spreading this myth. The original Hyperloop proposal is just a vacuum train. An idea that has existed for decades.
The "loop", or whatever they are calling the Teslas in a tunnel idea, is just a road tunnel. An idea that has existed for more than a century.

Not decades, the idea exist for over a century. It was just not feasible, sadly, the concept is so cool.

Yeah it sucks that tunnel boring is so expensive. But fully electric hypersonic transcontinental rail transport would be really cool.
