Technically you could. It would be a marvel of engineering and would cost billions of dollars, and you couldn’t go through the center of the Earth, but technically it is possible

Do we have the technology to do that considering the increasing heat, gravity, and magnetic force as one goes deeper? I feel like anything we could do would involve lots of nukes that would basically destroy the planet in the process.

Nobody said how deep the tunnel has to be. Could be just below common tunnel depth.

There’s a reason we don’t have a tunnel between North America and Europe. Don’t think we’re there yet.
