THE #HYPERLOOP PRECEDENT AND THE #SpaceX $1.75 TRILLION QUESTION
When Vision Outruns Economics
When @MorningstarInc released its report on June 2, 2026, valuing SpaceX at $780 billion nearly one trillion dollars below the $1.75 trillion #IPO target it sent a clear message.
The analysts concluded that @grok is not among the leading AI labs today, that orbital data centers rely on untested technology with uncertain feasibility, and that the company appears significantly overvalued. Morningstar has no fee income from the IPO.
Reading that valuation gap immediately reminded me of the Hyperloop.
In 2013, Elon Musk released a white paper promising near-supersonic travel at 1,200 km/h through vacuum tubes. The concept generated enormous excitement and attracted hundreds of millions in funding.
What actually happened?
Hyperloop One raised more than $450 million but reached only 172 km/h with passengers before shutting down in December 2023. Hardt Hyperloop in the Netherlands went bankrupt in March 2026. Zeleros in Spain entered insolvency in early 2026. Arrivo shut down in 2018.
Musk’s own Boring Company, originally associated with Hyperloop, ended up building conventional tunnels in Las Vegas where cars travel at ordinary road speeds of 35–40 mph.
The grand vision quietly became something far more modest.
In 2016, Tesla acquired SolarCity in a controversial $2.6 billion deal that many viewed as a bailout of a struggling company. Tesla later settled a related shareholder lawsuit for $60 million.
Today, similar questions are emerging on a much larger scale with SpaceX.
The S-1 filing discloses that Colossus capacity is being leased to competitor Anthropic on a short-term basis, an accumulated deficit of $41.3 billion, and a $20 billion bridge loan raised to refinance obligations tied to #Twitter and #xAI. #Starlink operates under strict physical limits imposed by Shannon’s Law.
It is not easy to write critically about SpaceX. The company has achieved extraordinary engineering successes, and Elon Musk has repeatedly done what many thought impossible.
But facts do not change because they are uncomfortable.
The chronology of my own questions is public and verifiable:
•December 2025: The Rafayel Tribunal Transcript
•February 18, 2026: Orbital Data Centers: The Claim vs. The Physics
•Spring 2026: The “Sir, Which Economy?” series, including The Hotchpotch Economy
Morningstar’s independent analysis arrived on June 2, 2026 months after these questions were first raised.
The real question is not whether these are remarkable engineering achievements. They clearly are.
The real question is whether remarkable engineering automatically justifies trillion-dollar valuations.
History suggests we should be cautious.

White paper in 2013. Open-sourced the idea. Pods in near-vacuum tubes. Magnetic levitation. 700+ mph. LA to SF in 35 minutes. Physics says it works. Engineering says it’s hard. #Hyperloop
Cities are 3D. Transport should be too. Tunnels and tubes.
La belle @Toulouse va accueillir un centre de recherche pour l' #Hyperloop, le train qui filera à 1200km/h 🚄 https://t.co/nUIJn0AgLb
The Swisspod #Hyperloop is reaching new speeds with #AERYS1, we can't wait to see what's in store with #AERYS2 🚄https://t.co/hQoPF4OINm
So cool. We got a new patent on single-sided linear induction motors. We enhance super high thrust at high-speeds including supersonic for space, #hyperloop and open-air applications. The resistivity of the track is changing, but while keeping it passive with no magnets/electromagnets. Future is contactless. @elonmusk @Tesla . Will hit new speed records soon.
@elonmusk Traffic steals an unbelievable amount of time and energy from people every day. 🚗⏳
The idea of faster underground transit between cities is genuinely exciting.

@elonmusk Master the efficiency with near-zero accidents and Hyperloop could become the next era of transport. Transatlantic routes would change the global economy, but it’ll need international partnerships.

@elonmusk #TheBoringCompany is turning the growing traffic nightmare into history as cities explode in size.
Tunnels today, #Hyperloop tomorrow; the future is going underground and we here for it!
@boringcompany #SolveTraffic
@elonmusk From Las Vegas to Dubai, controlling it remotely? The future’s underground now 🔥
#TheBoringCompany #Hyperloop
A fatal accident at a prototype "hyperloop" vacuum tube transport system leads to a global reassessment of the technology's safety. #Hyperloop #Transportation #Safety
Can't wait to see what's in store with the @Swisspod #Hyperloop. The best is yet to come. 📈

Put Up or Shut Up: My Challenge to the Orbital Data Centre Narrative
When everyone is counting @elonmusk trillions, I am asking the questions nobody wants to answer.
Ten years from now, someone will remember who asked them first
#Hyperloop did not fly.
The #Tunnel did not scale.
#Twitter became X and bled advertisers.
#Grok is a rented computer dressed as a revolution.
#Starlink is a downlink solution with an uplink problem.
Now they want to put data centres in orbit.
This is one narrative machine — each entity borrowing valuation from the others in a closed loop never grounded in independent cash flow.
I have six questions. Nobody has answered a single one
PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
1.COOLING
Space is cold. That does NOT mean cooling is easy.
No convection. No air. No water.
3,000 to 6,000 m² of radiator per megawatt.
Hyperscale AI runs at hundreds of megawatts.
Do the multiplication.
2.LAUNCH ECONOMICS
Every kilogram of radiator, shielding, and solar hardware must be launched. Repeatedly. Every hardware cycle. The economics do not close.
https://t.co/qqwUqDZsy9 INTERCONNECT
Frontier AI needs terabit-scale, microsecond-latency links between thousands of adjacent accelerators. That requires physical proximity. Not orbital separation.
4.RADIATION
Space is hostile. When something fails, there is no engineer you can send.
5.HARDWARE OBSOLESCENCE
NVIDIA refreshes annually. On Earth: replace racks. In orbit: replace satellites. At full launch cost. Every two years.
6.THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Goldman Sachs confirmed AI investment contributed ‘basically zero’ to real GDP growth in 2025. The same capital circles the same entities. It is not growth. It is rotation.
Meanwhile, Finland built something real.
$244 million. 250,000 users are heated. 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ eliminated annually. Data centre waste heat is piped directly into homes.
Same energy problem. One solution works. The other creates six new ones.
I am not saying orbital computing will never be possible.
I am saying it is not viable at hyperscale on the timeline being sold today.
Show the cooling architecture.
Show the refresh model.
Show the real numbers.
Otherwise, stop selling science fiction as infrastructure.

💥 #AERYS1 hit speeds 97% of European rail and 99% of US rail services never reached. And we’re just getting started 💪
#Hyperloop #TeamSwisspod
Get ready for the future of travel! 🚀 Dubai is integrating hyperloop and eVTOLs to revolutionize mobility, making inter-city and urban journeys faster than ever. #DubaiMobility #Hyperloop #eVTOL

Someone got it right in the end. Bringing our fully autonomous pods (with the best electromagnetic propulsion system on the pod) and teaming up with the best tunneling technology from @boringcompany would make #hyperloop a reality. @elonmusk
