Probably not a good idea to rely on numbers dispersed by Musk who is basically a showman who got lucky with electric cars
The likely problems revolve around the evacuated tube. No one has made a vacuum tube of this size before. The weight of the atmosphere is considerable, even a small leak could widen to an explosive inrush of air destroying everything inside

This article is just a classic case of innumerate art graduate journalists spouting nonsense about things they don’t have the IQ to comprehend. Musk is just an expert in manipulating their imbecilic fantasies about ‘wondrousness’, as if things such as the Manhattan project or Moon landing didn’t come from decades incremental and painstaking and boring basic engineering.
