Elon Musk wants to build underground tunnels to ease road traffic

Driving on the road especially in Lagos can be very annoying, because it is a slow bumper to bumper movement most of the time, which is referred to as traffic congestion. However a developed and organised country like the United States of America still experiences traffic congestion.

In December 2016, Tesla co-founder Elon Musk tweeted that “traffic was driving him nuts,” he informally announced that he was going to build a tunnel boring machine which will carry out some digging for vehicular movement underground. He said that the company will be called “The Boring Company.” He’s quite emotional though, as he must have coined that name due to what he was experiencing at the moment.

 At the TED2017 conference, Elon Musk talked about the Boring Company stating that they bought a second-hand machinery for the tunnel digging, meaning that they were not going to manufacture a brand tunnel digger for the innovation.

However here is a picture of the tunnel digger below, which was spotted at SpaceX recently:
