And while many of the hyperloop companies might be various scams to siphon money from investors, the various government bodies investing in them are probably just really bad at seeing a hype bubble for being just hype without substance.
@Gurre @jmaris @joakimfors 💯 I don't know if she's hired outside of the German bubble in her cabinet (which has landed her in trouble in the past), but there's bound to be some toxic FDP bro if not in the team at least vdL-team adjacent who's not very up-to-date on the topic and thought it would sound really hip and with it in a policy document. And others who know it's bs, but eh, it's non-legislative as Jon points out, so let them have it, they'll forget all about by the holidays anyway.
