The Boring Company- Elon Musk's Whimsical Tunneling Idea

How it started: Elon Musk was sitting in traffic and tweeted this followed by miniteasers of what was to come. Billionaires can do whatever they want.

After posting some hilarious challenges to the public through twitter and instagram about naming the company and the tunneling machine, stuff got real. Real boring that is. . The Boring Company's website: https://t.co/EfrzLAXwxs

After holding a college contest at Texas A&M to form ideas about possible concepts, he got to work in his parking lot tunneling 30ft? below the surface (to clear sewage and power lines.)

So right now if you go to Hawthorne you have this, you have Tesla's design center, you have Space X, you have the first Falcon 9 rocket to land on the barge sitting on display and you have a hyper loop test track running the length of the street in front of their campus.
