(March 10): The mayor of Panama City wants Elon Musk to create a “transformative tourist experience” by tapping the Boring Co to dig a pedestrian tunnel under the country’s namesake canal. In an interview, Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi said the tunnel would be “the best marketing tool to show this American ingenuity and invention”. His city earlier this year applied to Boring’s Tunnel Vision Challenge, which will result in one city getting a 12-foot diameter tunnel of up to one mile free of charge. Panama City is one of the 16 finalists for the competition out of 487 entries. Boring is actively working on a project in Las Vegas, which it began in 2019, and the company currently has about 10 miles of operational tunnel.
