Haha me too, I was like geez I hate those guys, they come in in teams of 4, the only reason we're listening to them is because they partied with my boss,
Grill them, a year later sign up for something we 10% need lol
1) Wear douchy leather shoes, slacks, look smart
2) BS and make stuff up on software you 20% understand until the client nods
3) Keep going
4) Call client, every, freaking, month, for 2 years
5) Do this enough - Sale!
This is not Musks project, this is a collective of unpaid academics backed by a kickstarter knockoff and a PR firm in El Segundo
"Now, the company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. (which is not affiliated with Musk or Tesla) "
Musk is building his own
"Separately, Musk has said he plans to build his own 5-mile test track, likely in Texas, for companies and students to test out potential Hyperloop designs."
They are going to do what they did to my friends project. Parade the techies around, get it funded, and then "lose" half the money
"he 5-mile test track is estimated to cost about $100 million, which Hyperloop Transportation Technologies hopes to pay for with its initial public offering (IPO) later this year, according to Navigant's blog. "
From the article "Separately, Musk has said he plans to build his own 5-mile test track, likely in Texas, for companies and students to test out potential Hyperloop designs."
He didn't, this is not elon musks project. Elon musks project is called Hyperloop Technology. This CO is called Hyperloop Transportation Technology backed by a PR Firm called Jumpstarter
The wording of this article is interesting. I personally know the people behind this project. This is from a PR firm, and kickstarter knockoff who 'lost' a lot of my friends startups money
This company (Hyperloop Transportation Technologies) got no funding, Hyperloop Technologies did ($8.5m).(which is in reality a PR firm called jumpstarter pr in El Segundo)
They are hoping to raise the funding at IPO
"Now, the company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. (which is not affiliated with Musk or Tesla) has inked a deal with landowners in central California to build the world's first Hyperloop test track"
"The 5-mile test track is estimated to cost about $100 million, which Hyperloop Transportation Technologies hopes to pay for with its initial public offering (IPO) later this year, according to Navigant's blog."
Musk is building his own
