When I heard about Boring Company I kind of just assumed it would be used for underground hyper loops. This feels kind of wrong.

When I heard about Boring Company I kind of just assumed it would be used for underground hyper loops. This feels kind of wrong.
Actually I believe part of the thinking behind this is that hyperloops underground would be easier to route and maintain especially under cities.
AFAICT nobody is planning to build hyperloops. They are building evacuated tunnels and calling them hyperloops.
Hyperloop at least has the right idea: Building above-ground is vastly less expensive than tunnelling.
My thought process was...
Hyperloops are round + tunnels are round = Boring Company
Putting cars through the tunnels is not what I first expected.
It's the sort of thing a guy who owns a car company would do, not someone who's actually trying to solve a transportation problem.
