"Let's Build a Tunnel!"
Another Musk Drabble
"Hello, Elon?"
"Yes, Mr.President."
"I have our friend Vladimir on the line here. He suggested you start building a tunnel between Russia and Alaska."
"How will that help me go home? It's underground! I need to explore space!"
Putin, "Hi Elon, let me explain. The money you get on government contracts from both countries and the fees from hauling all sorts of minerals and goods through the tunnel can be redirected to SpaceX. Just imagine how many billions we all could make from this!"
"Oh wow, that is indeed unlimited potential, Mr.Presidents! Let's build the f*cking tunnel! I'm so excited!"

100 words exactly is a Drabble.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Instructions for Replacement
These instructions are intended for ordinary use. They are not a guide to reinvention, only adjustment. Follow them carefully and in order. Skipping steps may result in confusion, emotional exposure, or relapse. If done correctly, the transition will appear seamless to others. You will continue to function. You will continue to be addressed by the same name. Only the internal mechanisms will change.

The sad thing is, I can see them trying to do this. And this is the exact logic that I can see them following...
Its weird you wrote this, I dreamt that Elon made a underground tunnel as to escape the above ground world.
Hahahahahahaha but would it actually be possible to build that tunnel?
