Elon Musk tweets mysterious ‘tunnel’ project
LOS ANGELES — Elon Musk is already going high, and now he says he’s going low. Subterranean, apparently.
Just weeks after suddenly tweeting “Traffic is driving me nuts” and “am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging,” the SpaceX and Tesla founder says it’s on the verge of happening.
“Exciting progress on the tunnel front,” he tweeted Wednesday. “Plan to start digging in a month or so.”
The cryptic statements have launched speculation about another fantastic transportation idea from Musk, who builds orbital rockets at his Space Exploration Technologies company, better known as SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, California, near Los Angeles International Airport.
