Traffic in the “Loop” tunnel has reached its peak. According to a video that appeared on social media, there was a traffic jam in an underground tunnel built by the Boring Company in Las Vegas, owned by Elon Musk.
The reason for the traffic jam at one of the drop-off points could be the Consumer Electronics Show, which is being held at the Convention Center in Las Vegas. People started making jokes about Elon Musk, because the tunnel was made to avoid traffic jams in Las Vegas, and that is exactly what happened.

Boring Company was founded in 2016 with the intention of expanding the tunnel in Las Vegas to other major destinations, and later connecting it with Los Angeles. This could reduce driving time between the two cities from four or five hours to less than two hours. However, similar projects were rejected in Washington, Baltimore and Chicago, while Fort Lauderdale officials at Florida agreed to such a project.
