The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

Kind of the opposite of the Titan submersible regarding pressure differential. The inside of the Hyperloop pods are kept at atmospheric pressure. If the tunnel became depressurized it would only reduce the pressure differential in the pod. Of course they'd all be liquefied in a crash at the proposed speeds...
