There is a reason we don't tunnel in Louisiana. There is a reason the tunnels we have are being bypassed with Bridges. Tunnels suck in Louisiana. They are a maintenance nightmare.


Go to The Netherlands. Same type of wet, subsiding soil. Tons of tunnels.

Even his Nashville tunnel might be impossible due to limestone in the area. I really can't see how he can make a New Orleans tunnel.



I believe they are trying tunnel in different media in different areas to see if its feasible.

He owns a space faring company. What exactly is your issue with travelling to Pluto?

"Following FDA approval in 2023, the first human received a Neuralink implant in early 2024. As of January 2026, 21 patients have received the implant, demonstrating the ability to control devices like computer mice."

21 people have already had a Neurolink installed. You think this isn't life changing for someone who is paralized?

I doubt either one ever happens. Even your link cast doubt on the tunnel and the other is just a link to a thread here saying they heard a rumor (unless I'm missing something)...

Would be cool, but don't hold your breath.

He tried. The Madisonville drawbridge mafia wouldn’t allow it. They are a powerful group.
