Annoyed by Los Angeles traffic, Elon Musk is proposing to dig a tunnel under the city so he can bypass the highway gridlock. Much like the HyperLoop, I don't think seismically active California is the best place to build. Though I am sure an underground tunnel can be engineered to withstand a serious earthquake, it is going to be much more expensive than a tunnel that traversed the same distance in a seismically inactive area.
I find I have more and more admiration for Elon Musk because he tries lots of things. He's not listening to naysayers like me and that is why he has a rocket company and an electric car company and the forthcoming boring company. Even if half of his ideas fall flat, he will still have an impressive list of accomplishments with the remaining half. Can hardly wait for his Iron-Man armor.
