Elon Musk will start making traffic busting tunnels next month

Elon Musk thinks being stuck in traffic is "soul-destroying" - but, he has a solution: tunnels. Musk has been tweeting about tunnels for a month now, and even said he's going to build a tunnel boring machine and start digging. In developed cities, we can't widen roadways, and elevated highways are ugly. So, we dig.
"Without tunnels, we will all be in traffic hell forever," Musk told The Verge via Twitter DM today. "I really do think tunnels are the key to solving urban gridlock. Being stuck in traffic is soul-destroying. Self-driving cars will actually make it worse by making vehicle travel more affordable."
where will your tunnel be?
