New York to London in 1 hour? Elon Musk proposes $20 billion tunnel plan

The ambitious idea of a transatlantic tunnel connecting New York City and London has resurfaced, sparked by Elon Musk’s latest statement claiming that his company, The Boring Company, could construct it for $20 billion. The concept, which has been discussed for decades, involves building a massive tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean spanning over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers). Historically, such a project has been viewed as impractical due to its enormous cost, technical challenges, and the engineering scale required. However, Musk’s innovative approach and advancements in technology have reignited global interest in this unprecedented infrastructure project.
