Nah, the Vegas thing was to stall mass transit.

Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.

That's Hyperloop, the rebranded vactrain concept. The Vegas loop is the rebranded subway.

All the poorly conceived, improperly executed, and quickly abandoned projects just kind of blend together.
