Does this article think that Elon Musk is going to donate all the tunnels to the city for free? What he is creating is a network of toll roads, under the city. I'm sure he did his research and saw that adding one lane to the freeway cost 1.6B, and noticed that it was probably a lot cheaper to dig under the city, instead of paying incredibly high prices for land and supports. Billionaires love to act like "This morning I came up with this idea in the shower, and i thought it was cool so I'm going to move forward with it." Lets take a minute and think about some of the moves he's recently made. He has an electric car company, that is developing self driving car technology. He's stated that you could only use the self driving car through "Teslas network" for Uber like service. If tesla has the electric/self driving car market, a vast network of uncongested roads they will essentially have such a competitive advantage in major cities, that you'd be stupid to not use their service. More and more people using "Tesla Uber", will automatically declog the roads until theres a natural balance.
