Will be building a Hyperloop test track for companies and student teams to test out their pods. Most likely in Texas.

Looks like Elon Musk can’t wait for someone else to give it a try, so he’s going to do the damn thing himself.
The Hyperloop, a conceptual pneumatic high-speed transportation system, was first introduced by Musk in 2013. He never announced any intent to build the thing himself, instead releasing his design and asking others to get to work. It’s estimated that his design, which would supposedly carry people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in a half hour or so, would run about $6 to $7 billion.
Also thinking of having an annual student Hyperloop pod racer competition, like Formula SAE http://t.co/HV9BLCoMb8

If you’re going what the hell is a hyperloop, please read about it. I hope he can build this test track before the robots get him.
