Abstract

The article focuses on Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi’s proposal for Elon Musk’s Boring Company to construct a pedestrian tunnel beneath the Panama Canal as part of the company’s Tunnel Vision Challenge, which offers one city a free 12-foot diameter tunnel up to one mile long. Panama City is the only non-U.S. finalist among 16 cities competing for the project, aiming to create an interactive tourist experience highlighting the canal’s construction and the country’s culture. The Boring Company currently operates tunnels in Las Vegas and is developing a 10-mile loop in Nashville, with no ownership or rental terms discussed yet for the Panama project. Mizrachi also praised Musk’s innovative approach and cited his own efforts to reduce city government staff and budget since taking office in 2024. [Extracted from the article]
