    Elon Musk has suggested that The Boring Company could construct a transatlantic tunnel connecting New York City and London for significantly less than the proposed $20 trillion cost. Musk claims the project could be completed for $20 billion, a fraction of the original estimate. He stated, "The @boringcompany could do it for 1000X less money." The ambitious idea, which envisions reducing travel time between the two cities to just 54 minutes, has sparked interest and debate. While the feasibility of such a project remains uncertain, Musk's track record of pursuing groundbreaking innovations has led to speculation about the potential realization of the tunnel.
