As @alon_levy has pointed out many times, Spain and Korea (among others) have already figured out how to tunnel for an order of magnitude cheaper than the US pays. We don’t need @elonmusk to reinvent the earth pressure balance machinehttps://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/943882440984223747 …
I am genuinely curious: in your view, how would you quantify the probability that you know more about tunneling and possible business cases than Elon Musk's company at this point? I wonder how much of your position is driven by deep expertise and how much by being annoyed?

I'll turn the question around to you: how much of your position here is driven by being annoyed, and how much is driven by your background on the topic? Because you've already admitted to being "clueless" about tunneling...

I noticed that annoyance did indeed play a role for me, and maybe it was unjustified! I think that Elon Musk has a track record of disrupting what everybody thought they knew, and his detractors have a track record of being wrong, but that may distort my view here.

Close to 100%, but what do I know, I only read the literature on tunneling costs and saw how wrong the claims in Boring's FAQ were.

Thank you! Interesting!
