C.br Just received verbal govt approval for The Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop.br The Department of Transportation referred a query about the project to the White House, which said in an emailed reply through a spokesman: “We have had promising conversations to date, are committed to transformative infrastructure projectsbr and believe our greatest solutions have often come from the ingenuity and drive of the private sector.”br In his replies, Mr. Musk let slip a few more thoughts.br Mr. Musk’s tweet was enticing enough, even without details, that it prompted a bombardment of follow-up questions and a great deal of skepticism.br “City center to city center in each case, with up to a dozen or more entryexit elevators in each city,” he wrotebr It takes New Yorkers longer than that just to travel from one end of Manhattan to the other by subway.br Nor was there any indication of just who in the government had given the plan the “verbal” green light.
