Musk's plan runs from Hayward to Sylmar. Both are up to 45 minutes from the HSR endpoints in traffic.
Musk's plan specifically calls for TSA-style security.
Your third point is nonresponsive to the argument. The ticket cost will reflect opex, but Musk's plan doesn't include it.
Yes, his per-mile tunnel cost estimates were extremely low.
Airplanes occasionally experience motion-sickness-inducing G's. Hyperloop pods will every trip. You'd at least want to know if the design is a vomit comet before you sank billions into it, would be the right point to make here.
