What happened to Musk’s magic tunnels, or hyperloop? I thought that was going to solve these problems in about five years, ten years ago.

In case that wasn't obvious or sarcasm, Elmo literally always lies about everything. Those magic tunnels were never going to happen, hyperloop is probably one of world's biggest scams as well, billions and billions wasted on shit that even highschoolers could tell you was dumb.
