Isn't this an Elon Musk venture? I see no mention of him on the website.

As far as I know, he simply came up with the original idea and refined it with his engineers from both SpaceX & Tesla. He 'open sourced' all of it in hopes someone else would try and actually build it (perhaps with his help). I suppose this is the "someone else."

As far as I know, following what you said, and nobody taking interest; Elon decided he would do 'something' which he never disclosed. I am leaning towards actual involvement here:

> Brogan BamBrogan (Interim CEO, CTO, Co-Founder): Prior to Hyperloop, Brogan was an early team member at SpaceX where he saw firsthand the power of a truly bold vision.

Interestingly the picture on the website shows a train car with a container and not with people. I wonder if they are focussing on cargo first and people later? It would seem to make things a lot easier in the beginning, since cargo is much less problematic to put into a closed tube for a while.

Presumably so it can bind port 80 then shed privileges?
