Elon Musk: High-speed, futuristic L.A. area travel tunnel almost ready

HAWTHORNE, Calif. -- Are Los Angeles area residents a step closer to a shorter commute? Is science-fiction closer to reality?

On Twitter Sunday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said an underground travel tunnel designed to ease L.A. traffic was close to completion.

CBS Los Angeles reports the tweets set off a frenzy on the internet. His 23 million followers were certainly excited.

Last year, the City Council of this L.A. suburb approved a roughly two-mile test tunnel from Musk's SpaceX headquarters here to a point east of Los Angeles International Airport. Musk's Boring Company is seeking approval to tunnel into western Los Angeles.
