Yes, I've read about it. I believe he is parterning with another smaller company to make it. It's a kind of maglev type "tube transport" system supposedly. Claiming a 2 hour trip from New York to California. He has stated it's like "A levetated maglev train and a air hockey table combined". Rumor seems to point to a type of vacuum tube type enclosure that the "train" cars would run in. Supposedly cheaper to build per mile than a freeway, and speeds faster than commercial aircraft. It sounds pretty out there, but it's Musk so who knows. I actually posted something about it a few days ago, but it was mostly rumors and speculation at the time.
