Crowdsourcing the future
summary
Claims a crowdsourced build of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies with 520 scientists from 42 countries contributing part‑time for stock options, partnered by AECOM, Microsoft, Amazon, NASA, SpaceX, Tesla and universities. Describes a vacuum‑tube maglev: capsules of 28 people at ~1,200 km/h, one tube capacity ~3,400 people/hour (24 million/year), solar/wind/regenerative power net positive, pylon mounting that survives earthquakes, and integrated first‑mile self‑driving links. Promises a full‑scale Quay Valley / five‑mile I‑5 test and claims far lower capital cost than proposed high‑speed rail.
