Let's make him even richer!
The Boring Co., founded by Elon Musk, has begun work on an underground tunnel in Nashville.

Currently, the 8-mile journey from the airport to the Music City Convention Center can take anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes during peak traffic times. The Boring Co. estimates the same ride could take as little as 8 minutes with its fleet of underground Teslas.
There are plans for three stops along the Music City Loop: the Nashville International Airport (BNA), the Music City Convention Center and the Tennessee State Capitol.
Despite talks with several other cities, The Boring Co. only has one other tunnel in operation. The Vegas Loop initially boasted 155 mph rides in self-driving Teslas when it was first announced. Since then, Boring has switched to driver-operated cars for the 2-mile tunnel that currently circles the Vegas strip.
