Elon Musk Has High Hopes for His Underground Tunnel
Musk claimed on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BinoVT6Acpd/?taken-by=elonmusk) that his first underground tunnel in LA is "almost done," pending final regulatory approvals, and promised his Boring Company will initially offer free rides to the public.
