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: Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging...
6:15 AM: It shall be called "The Boring Company"
6:16 AM: 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.

Not Boring.

Today, 21 has two major product releases that lets businesses and individuals make money through microtasks. Learn more.

If your AI product has an onboarding step that says "tell us about your business" — your users are lying to you. Not maliciously. They just write whatever sounds good in the moment, skip half the fields, and click next.

Brandfetch's Brand Context API gives you structured brand data for 50M+ brands in a single call: voice,mission, positioning, audience, competitors, all of it. Pre-fill your onboarding before the user types a word.

Ground your AI features so they stop hallucinating about the brands your LLM barely knows. It's the scraping pipeline most teams never get around to building, already built. 100 free calls, no credit card.
