Elon Musk's newest company! 👀
It all started the morning of Dec 17th, 2016. Elon Musk was in a Tesla, LA traffic was doing its thing. He pulls out his phone while signaling to the AI (using his thoughts) to take over the wheel, and starts tweeting:
5:05 AM:Â Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging...
6:15 AM:Â It shall be called "The Boring Company"
6:16 AM:Â Boring, it's what we do
Boring, it's what he did.
On Friday afternoon the world learned that Elon was actually serious, as he revealed this video. It shows an underground network of tunnels where cars travel at 130 mph under major cities.
It's only a matter of time before Netflix has to rename the Science-Fiction category into Near-Term Technology.
P.S. This isn’t the only new company Elon announced this year. He wants to turn people into cyborgs.Â
