Miami mayor says Elon Musk will tunnel under the town for just $30 million

Elon Musk told Miami’s mayor Friday that The Boring Company could dig a two-mile tunnel under the town for as little as $30 million — a fraction of the $1 billion tag once quoted by local transit officials. Musk also told the Mayor that The Boring Company could complete the work in six months, versus the first four year estimate.

Mayor Francis Suarez shared these details about his “wonderful call” with Musk during a video posted to Twitter. “He’s focused on trying to deliver a project which will have the utmost utility for our residents for the smallest amount amount of cash ,” Suarez said. “The order of magnitude in terms of savings is critical .”
