Elon Musk to dig tunnel to ease traffic in LA, but he doesn't yet have permission

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO announced his plans to start digging 'in a month or so', but city planning bodies say he doesn't have the permits required

Elon Musk announced plans to start digging a traffic-easing tunnel under Los Angeles "in a month or so", but city planning bodies say he doesn't yet have permission.

The SpaceX and Tesla CEO has been mulling the idea since December, when he revealed his frustrations with congestion in the city. "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging," he said on Twitter.
