1. Musk is no fool.

2. It appears that Miami people don't see all the obstacles the out-of-the-area experts on here do. I wonder why?

Maybe there are some naturally occurring tunnels there just waiting to "open".  

I drive through what is advertised as the Southernmost Tunnel in the USA every time I compete at Homestead-Miami Speedway.  The tunnel is underneath turn NASCAR 3 and allows entrance to the infield section of speedway.  The tunnel floods during periods of 'Florida Frog Drowning' thunderstorms.

I feature the level of the water table in the entirety of the Florida peninsula would prohibit serious underground tunneling. 

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Somewhere they will find a sucker.  Who said one is born every day?  Better still will they find a local person will make the location a sucker?

Elon Musk rarely has his brain properly engaged when he starts operating his tongue.  Subways in Miami are not the smartest move.

Yup, below both the water table and sea level, mostly former swamp land where the tunnel would be prone to settling at different rates for different sections and highly prone to flooding during a hurricane without some kind of massive pumping system.    Would be rather large operating and maintence financial deficits me thinks.

Sounds like weapons-grade balonium.
