Just one of Elon's pet projects.Elon Musk has never heard of Peter Photis Pascali:
Inquiries and discussions have been held with Boring Company for various projects.
In February 2021, Miami, Florida, mayor Francis Suarez revealed that Musk had proposed to dig a two-mile tunnel under the Miami River for $30 million, within a six-month timescale, compared with $1 billion over four years estimated by the local transit authority. Much of the savings would be achieved by simplifying ventilation systems and allowing only electric vehicles.[58] As of November 2023, the city is waiting for the Miami Dade Transportation Planning Organization to complete an analysis of the project.[59]
In July 2021, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, accepted a proposal from the Boring Company for a tunnel between downtown and the beach, to be dubbed the "Las Olas Loop".[60] In August 2021, the city was beginning final negotiations with TBC,[61] and Mayor Dean Trantalis estimated the total cost of the 5-mile (8.0 km) round-trip tunnel would be between $90 and $100 million, including stations.[62] As of December 2022, the city suspended efforts to continue the project.[59]
In August 2021, a preliminary concept discussion was held with officials of Cameron County on the potential construction of a tunnel from South Padre Island to Boca Chica Beach in South Texas. If built, the tunnel would be required to pass beneath the Brownsville Ship Channel.[63] It would allow SpaceX's Boca Chica facility to remain accessible if Highway 4, its sole access road, is closed.[64]
