Elon Musk’s Boring Company has proposed a $20 billion transatlantic tunnel that would connect New York and London, using Hyperloop technology to achieve travel times of less than an hour.
In a shocking (but not entirely surprising) move, Elon Musk has weighed in on the global transportation problem.
The tech billionaire, known for his critical tweets and controversial opinions, has proposed a $20 billion tunnel connecting New York and London.
“Traffic is too slow!” Musk tweeted. “We need something faster, more efficient, and less expensive.”
Of course, Musk didn’t stop there. He also proposed using Hyperloop technology, a vacuum tube transportation system, to achieve travel times of less than an hour. “You could have breakfast in New York and dinner in London,” Musk said.
Reactions on social media were mixed. Some praised Musk for “thinking big,” while others criticized him for proposing “impractical” and “expensive” ideas.
“Elon Musk should focus on building electric cars and rockets instead of meddling in issues he doesn’t understand,” wrote one Twitter user.
“I don’t think an underwater tunnel is a good idea,” wrote another. “It’s too dangerous.”
It’s unclear at this time whether Musk’s proposal will be implemented, but one thing is certain: it has sparked intense debate on the topic.
In a related development, Musk also announced that he is developing a new type of submarine that can travel through tunnels. “It’s called ‘The Boring Submarine,’” Musk tweeted. “And it will be available tomorrow.”
