Ever had one of those days where sitting in traffic is the last thing you want to do?

Well, entrepreneur and frustrated Los Angeles commuter Elon Musk was tired of LA gridlock and decided to act.

Instead of reaching for a gun and he reached for his wallet. He  has committed to donate $50,000 to speed up the widening of the 405 freeway.

He says this is a

“Contribution to the city and my own happiness.. If it can actually make a difference, I would gladly contribute funds and ideas. I’ve super had it.”

In another interview Musk suggested that it was easier to get rockets into orbit than navigate his journey to work and he questioned why people weren’t rioting in the streets. 

I am sure he is not the only one at his wits end, as this year Los Angeles was ranked yet again as having the worst traffic congestion of any city in America. Furthermore, the 405 project was already (surprise, surprise) over budget and behind schedule. 

With Musk’s contribution, the majority of the project should be done by June 2014, lets hope in the meantime he’ll restrain himself from starting a road rage revolution.
