Elon Musk has unveiled yet another audacious idea: a $20 billion underwater tunnel that would transport passengers from New York to London in just 54 minutes. His vision involves a hyperloop-style vacuum tube beneath the Atlantic, promising unprecedented speeds. However, critics quickly pointed out the immense engineering and financial challenges, from maintaining a vacuum-sealed tunnel under deep ocean pressure to securing funding for such a colossal project.
Despite skepticism, Musk remains confident, brushing off concerns with his signature optimism. Social media, meanwhile, reacted with humor, questioning whether Musk should focus on fixing potholes before tunneling under the ocean. While the concept is likely to remain science fiction for now, Musk has once again succeeded in grabbing headlines and fueling debate over whether he’s a visionary or simply a master of spectacle.
