Musk weighs in on plan for $20 trillion tunnel linking New York to London

Spanning 3,400 miles, the tunnel would be the most ambitious infrastructure project ever undertaken. The difficulties of building an underground rail tunnel all the way from London to New York might seem insurmountable, yet plans to actually construct such a tunnel are genuinely being considered, with those behind the idea estimating that it could cost somewhere in the region of $20 trillion.

Not only would the tunnel be the longest ever built by a huge margin at 3,400 miles long, but it would also make incredibly fast trans-Atlantic travel a reality, with trips between New York and London taking a mere 54 minutes to complete.

This remarkably short travel time would be achieved by creating a vacuum within the tunnel and using pressurized vehicles that could theoretically reach speeds of up to 3,000mph.

I am just illustrating the existence of “unintended consequences” occuring in system where those events “shouldn’t” happen. I sincerely hope I am wrong about anything catastrophic occuring...many engineering flaws have occurred..don’t forget the Liberty ships of WW2...or the Tacoma Narrows bridge...

Except he founded/created the most advanced most powerful space company on the planet, created Starlink bringing internet to the remote parts of Africa, the North and south poles, created Neuralink that transfers computer data straight to the brains of disabled people and enables some blind to see again, created the Boring Company building tunnels economically etc etc. What have you created, apart from spewing out far left nonsense?

Aside from all the scientific sanity against this:

...it would also make incredibly fast trans-Atlantic travel a reality, with trips between New York and London taking a mere 54 minutes to complete.
But that's AFTER the 3-hour TSA/DEA security screening line for explosives & contraband...

...on EACH side of the pond. /s

Nope.
Sending humans to Mars is far far harder. And vastly more expensive.

54 minutes?

This is all just so they don’t have to give you snacks or drinks on the way over.

Cheap bastards.
