Musk says impossible permits killed Boring Co's NY-DC Hyperloop tunnel plan

Elon Musk said on X that "permits were impossible to get," explaining why The Boring Company's proposed East Coast Hyperloop linking New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington never advanced. The 2017 plan, which promised a 29-minute NY-DC trip, drew scrutiny from officials who denied knowledge of approvals and ultimately stalled amid multi-state environmental and safety reviews.
