The hyperloop is dead for real this time::Hyperloop One is shutting down its operations. The company was founded in 2014 promising pods that would carry passengers at airline speeds through nearly airless tubes. Turns out, it wasn’t really viable.

I would be very skeptical about a channel that called itself ColdFusion. Like I'd expect it to represent about zero critical thinking skills.
Branson wants to be on the edge too, trying to catch the next big thing. Mostly copying what others are doing. He is just a manchild, using his ressources as toys, seemingly based on very little knowledge. Don't expect to much from him either. At least Branson doesn't seem repulsive like Musk, but he is for sure no tech genius. Although he may be good at running a business in an area he understands.
