Elon Musk is at it again, this time getting his dig on for the proposed hyperloop route leg between DC and Baltimore.
The first Hyperloop tunnel on the East Coast will be built in Maryland.
Gov. Larry Hogan made the announcement in a video posted on Twitter. Electric car pioneer Elon Musk’s Boring Company will start digging a tunnel in the state for an ultra-high-speed connection between Baltimore and Washington that would transport travelers in a matter of minutes.

Musk teased the idea on Twitter over the summer, saying he had received verbal government approval to start building the Hyperloop, which Musk ultimately wants to connect New York and D.C.
So the tunnels will be dug at least. What happens after, well who knows. Cincinnati has had subway tunnels for decades that were never finished, and I'm betting the same thing will happen here.
I've been calling BS on Hyperloop since 2013, and I still haven't seen anything that makes me think this is anything but the Springfield monorail.
