Elon Musk has been talking well-nigh The Boring Company, his tunnel-digging endeavor, for months now. Today, he tweeted, “Just received verbal govt clearance for The Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC Hyperloop. NY-DC in 29 mins.”

Ars has reached out to Musk directly and to The Boring Company’s media contact to get increasingly details on the “verbal govt approval.”

Ars moreover contacted the US Department of Transportation, and a White House spokesperson noted, “We have had promising conversations to date, are single-minded to transformative infrastructure projects, and believe our greatest solutions have often come from the ingenuity and momentum of the private sector.”
