The tunnel runs about 2 miles under the streets of Hawthorne, where Musk’s SpaceX headquarters is located.
Musk has described a system in which vehicles or people pods are moved on electrically powered platforms called skates at speeds up to 155 mph.
Musk wants to build a tunnel across western Los Angeles and another between a Metro subway line and Dodger Stadium.
