Could a tunnel link New York and London in 54 minutes?

The idea for a proposed transatlantic tunnel connecting London and New York has surfaced yet again. The proposed tunnel would connect London and New York in under an hour. As per Newsweek, the transatlantic tunnel would connect New York in the United States and London in the United Kingdom. This concept, which would create a vacuum in the tunnel and use pressurised vehicles, could theoretically send trains between New York and London at a speed of around 4,800 kmph. The SpaceX CEO claimed on Twitter that his Boring Company – a US infrastructure and tunnel construction company that he launched in 2016 – “could do it for 1000X less money.” Musk, two years ago, had claimed his company would build a working hyperloop.
