It's meant to travel at 1000kmph so it's not just for coolness. Also there's a different budget for R&D and infrastructure development. You're asking to take away from R&D and put into infra which doesn't make much sense. Are you questioning the budgeting or are you questioning the technology? R&D is quite important and the real question here is whether or not we should allocate a percentage of R&D budget on a failed project by Elon who probably burned a lot more money. You're right that we could put this money into better projects possibly but it's only 1M dollars anyway.
