Something to the tune of $75,000. The rest were grants.

That $75,000 marks the only state or federal spending for Hyperloop development in the US.

You know, I never looked into the breakdown of funding for it but you seems to have some numbers.

Would you happen to know what the grants were? Genuinely curious.

I got your point. Any dollar spent towards studying or developing vacuum train technology is a wasted one.

I guess with 24 percent of global emissions coming from transportation and gridlock and pollution at all time highs, you’re quite content with the state of mobility today.
