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 think they should throw San Antonio and El Paso in there too. Once you have El Paso to Houston covered, you might as well go to Lake Charles, and then you have enough of I-10 covered that maybe they just decide to keep going.

TX should do whatever possible to fund that loop. The economic benefits of such easy travel is amazing.

I'm no agency/government/permit guru
But i'm pretty sure verbal agreements don't cut it

There were plans for a mega loop from the border around San Antonio and DFW up north. It would have been mandatory for truckers who arent stopping in Texas. Would have been awesome

which is why its "announced" in a tweet and not a formal press release

Not the same kind of loop.

You honestly believe that there are enough people demanding service to Lake Charles to justify it?

Dinner reservations in New York and home that night? Hell yeah.

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.
