The tech is way older than Musk. In the 80s it was called Evacuated Tube Transport or ETT. It had feasibility problems then and it does now. It's a nice idea, but we're a long way from the tunneling technology and vehicle technology to make it a reality.

It's even older than that... 1799/1810[1] was the first attempt
