Elon Musk has invented the tunnel (not truly rationalist related but I feel like this sub will appreciate it) (https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-says-hyperloop-tunnel-is-now-just-a-normal-1835024474)

Once they allow only robot-driven cars into the hyperloop, he will truly become the inventor of “car-pal tunnel syndrome”

Go to your room and think about what you did.
Inadvisable. It's a basilisk.
Cure's the same as for methanol poisoning, if I remember my Langford right. Wrong basilisk, but probably still applies.

A brilliant idea from Mr Musk, but I think it could be improved upon.

What if instead of driving your own car in the tunnel, there was some sort of vehicle that could transport a large number of people simultaneously? And what if, instead of roads in the tunnel, they had some sort of track that the vehicle was riding on, for the sake of safety and reliability?

It needs a catchy name; I was thinking of “sub-passage” or possibly “underground way”.

This is heresy.
Do you mean a “series of tubes”?

The whole of Silicon Valley is now just libertarian WASPs reinventing the wheel and then giving it minimalist redesign and a new name like 'CRCL' or 'round' (all lowercase). [Edit: Literally.](https://twitter.com/sarthakgh/status/1056047660484816896)

Elon Musk: “What if I put you inside a death trap inside another death trap?”

Internet fanboys: “What a genius! It’s infinitely scalable! Traffic is solved forever!”

i don’t see the line of people waiting to use the tunnel in the twitter race video

EVERYONE GETS THEIR OWN TUNNEL IT SCALES HORIZONTALLY IDIOT
oh christ that music, we are ruled by a teenage nerdboy

And what did the world pay this man for his genius of the tunnel, electric cars with space age handles and tintin styled chrome spaceships? 2.3 billion dollars.

He should just build and then abandon a megadungeon under the city. Far greater social good, probably better at transport in certain areas, and he can hide his wealth away so the SEC and others can’t steal it.
