    If you've ever bought anything online and have been redirected to pay pal know that the person who took your credit card and wont give it back is Ellon Mask. Elon Mask was born South Africa and became a millionaire in his late twenties by selling a start up company like Pay pal and many others for more than  $1.5 billion in stock to EBay. Musk ventured of in Space Exploration  Technology Corp. (Space X) in 2002 and co founder of Tesla auto motives 2003. He was recently crowned by Time's most influential man of 2013.

Richard Branson (owner of Virgin airline founder of Virgin Mobile) said,"Whatever skeptics have said can’t be done, Elon has gone out and made real. Remember in the 1990s, when we would call strangers and give them our credit-card numbers? Elon dreamed up a little thing called Pay Pal. His Tesla Motors and Solar City companies are making a clean, renewable-energy future a reality. It’s a paradox that Elon is working to improve our planet at the same time he’s building spacecraft to help us leave it. But true vision is binocular — and Elon Musk is clearly a man who can see many things at once"(branson Times100). Its clearly that he has become the next Iconic figure in inventions but the most recent invention is quite beyond belief. In August 2013, Musk proposed an idea to make a train that goes from San Francisco to Los Angela's in 35 minutes top reaching speeds over  700 mph.

(The proposed Hyper loop high-speed transport system would ferry passengers between Los Angela's and San Francisco in about 30 minutes, according to entrepreneur Elon Musk. This sketch shows what the passengers capsule would look like.)


(Capsules would move between two cities through a network of elevated, pressurized tubes,  built roughly parallel to California's I-5 freeway.)

As envisioned by Musk, passengers would travel more than 700 mph through the steel tubes, aided by anti-friction air pressure.

   The California High- Speed Rail Authority Chairman Dan Richard has stated that he will show Musk "what it really takes to build a project in California" if the Hyper-loop project begins to gain momentum. The plan would take seven to ten years to make and ready for use. With an an estimated cost of $6 billion, his plan is still long underway.
