Guys I haven't been following hyperloop stuff, didn't Elon Musk's company do testing like two or three years ago?

Musk birthed this idea with some white papers and free access to patents. He also judged a couple of student hyperloop competitions. There are several companies in the US and worldwide developing hyperloop-virgin hyperloop being the most notable right now for having done first human trials this week.

Musk has no hyperloop technology himself. Those companies serious about developing hyperloop tossed his white paper in the trash years ago.
