Elon Musk announces he’s going to build tunnels

December 19, 2016 by Paul Spoerry 5 Comments



Elon Musk hates sitting in traffic, says he’s going to build tunnels
“It shall be called ‘The Boring Company.’ Boring, it’s what we do.”

Friday Musk tweeted, "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging."

An hour later he declared: "It shall be called 'The Boring Company.' Boring, it's what we do."

And finally, an hour after that, in case you thought he was just dealing with road rage he hit Twitter again to declare, "I am actually going to do this." and then changed his Twitter bio to include "Tunnels."

    We will see how this works for him, getting a boring machine is easy, the work is a lot more complicated and time consuming than most people think, and getting the permits to dig can take years.

    He should only allow self-driving cars into the tunnel.

    I'm sure when he decided he wanted to build electric cars people said that making one might be easy but batteries weren't powerful enough to use, and getting permits to allow them on the road might be hard, and getting around the US auto industry would be difficult, etc etc etc.

    Im sure he could do it, but I would rather he focus on his mars/energy stuff. Tunnels is solving a problem that should, ideally, not exist if we optimized over things correctly.
    Or just design Telsas that can be driven over.

    The tunnel knowledge he learn on Earth will come handy on Mars.
