Might be possible to go supersonic in our test Hyperloop tube, even though it's only 0.8 miles long. Very high accel/decel needed …
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 28, 2017
Btw, high accel only needed because tube is short. For passenger transport, this can be spread over 20+ miles, so no spilt drinks.

Then you better say 800mph, since ''super-sonic'' or ''mach1'' is kindof irrelevant in a vacuum tube ...
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 28, 2017
No such thing as true vacuum, so actually yes

How many mph is considered supersonic?

What are the major challenges with Hyperloop Technology and what do you think about @HyperloopOne ?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 27, 2017
I hope they and any others trying to advance transport technology succeed

I believe what EM meant was, he doesn't believe in founding&expanding a company using ONLY OPM.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 27, 2017
Exactly. Wouldn't let anyone invest more than a token amount in early rounds of SpaceX and Tesla, as the probability of failure was >90%.

Literally zero incentive laws were put into place by my companies. Zero. Others put them in place. Happy to go to zero incentives for all.

@elonmusk · Aug 27, 2017
@bobbyblackstock @c12olivas Funny thing is, whenever I suggest all companies go to zero incentives, room gets very quiet. That's because others get a lot more than us.

I'm not an investor. Just believe in putting money into my own companies. Don't think the OPM approach is right.

Livestream? Or will we get a delayed, sped-up-through-the-boring-parts-in-between-pod-runs video after the event wraps up?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 27, 2017
The latter. There are pretty long gaps between each team run, so livestream is not the way to go.
