Hyperloop: Elon Musk's Fast Lane to Flopdom with Aparna Nancherla and Greta Titelman

When Elon Musk boasted to Shervin Pishevar about inventing a revolutionary form of transportation, Pishevar took him at his word — turns out with Elon, that's a huge mistake. Musk promised travel at the speed of sound, unprecedented city connections, and a complete societal transformation, but conveniently left out the potential for catastrophic failure. After wasting millions of dollars and buckets of clout on the promise of Hyperloop, MULTIPLE billionaires are still reeling from the experience. At least they're not being sucked into a deadly vacuum! Or would that be a good thing?

Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman, The Introvert's Survival Guide) and Greta Titelman (Problemista, Senior Superlatives) join Misha for the ride of their lifetimes with Hyperloop.
