Elon Musk says Boring Company may dig new 100km CERN collider

Elon Musk has been approached to dig a brand new particle collider that would stretch for 100km under Geneva in Switzerland, the serial entrepreneur has revealed. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) – would replace the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to further push forward our understanding of the universe. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, published a design report for the collider last week, revealing plans for a structure that is almost 4-times longer than its predecessor at a cost of €24 billion (£21.2bn). As the co-founder of the tunnel-digging firm The Boring Company, Mr Musk claims that he could cut several billion euros from this bill. On Monday, he tweeted that the director of CERN asked him about the possibility of employing his tunnel-digging firm.
