The Boring Company, Elon Musk’s tunnel-digging company, and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee have announced a plan to build a 10-mile “loop” that will connect Nashville’s downtown and its convention center to the area’s airport.

State leaders fast-tracked plans by Elon Musk’s company for a tunnel to Nashville’s airport, ignoring the city’s concerns.

Tesla Inc. is offering ride-hailing services in the San Francisco Bay Area, the birthplace of ride-sharing and where the EV maker has plenty of competition from services with drivers at the wheel as well as from self-driving cars.

California officials said that Tesla was not permitted to offer transportation to the public without a driver in a self-driving vehicle.

"You can now ride-hail a Tesla in the SF Bay Area, in addition to Austin," wrote Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a post on X in the early hours of Thursday.
