Governor Bill Lee announced approval for The Boring Company's Music City Loop project, an underground tunnel connecting downtown Nashville to the international airport. The privately funded initiative, using Tesla vehicles, aims to reduce commute times to about eight minutes. Construction is set to begin immediately following the permit from the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration.
Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson purchased Tesla stock in April 2025, three months before the state's announcement of the Music City Loop tunnel project involving Elon Musk's companies. He amended his financial disclosure in January 2026 to include the investment and later sold the shares to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The timing has raised questions about potential conflicts as Johnson advances legislation to oversee the project.
