Russia Proposes Elon Musk’s Boring Company Build Arctic Tunnel Linking Alaska
Russian officials are actively courting Elon Musk to deploy his Boring Company's tunneling technology for an audacious trans-Arctic project. The proposed 70-mile undersea rail LINK beneath the Bering Strait—dubbed the 'Putin-Trump Tunnel'—would represent both an engineering marvel and geopolitical statement, with Kremlin investment envoys suggesting $65 billion in funding.
Kirill Dmitriev of Russia's sovereign wealth fund framed the endeavor as a symbolic bridge between nations, though technical feasibility remains questionable given extreme Arctic conditions. The pitch follows recent high-level diplomatic contacts between Moscow and Washington, positioning infrastructure as potential common ground amid strained relations.
