Elon Musk just tweeted that his Boring Company tunnel project has received “verbal [government] approval” to build a hyperloop connecting New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.

Just received verbal govt approval for The Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop. NY-DC in 29 mins.

City center to city center in each case, with up to a dozen or more entry/exit elevators in each city

For sure. First set of tunnels are to alleviate greater LA urban congestion. Will start NY-DC in parallel. Then prob LA-SF and a TX loop.

Still a lot of work needed to receive formal approval, but am optimistic that will occur rapidly
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 20, 2017

Approval needed from: Federal DOT; 6 states; 17 counties; numerous cities; hundreds of elected officials. Definitely happening rapidly. LINK

I'm no agency/government/permit guru

But i'm pretty sure verbal agreements don't cut it

So when do you think Elon's coming to Louisiana? My best guess: never. Here, the hands come out and too many politicians want their honey pot sweetened.

Meanwhile, BR can't even figure out how to build a loop that's been proposed since 1960.
