Elon Musk has been trolling on Twitter, first by voicing his frustration with traffic jams and then alluding to some new venture called “boring”, as in “boring tunnels”. He seems to actually be deadly serious, as we can see from his newly updated Twitter bio. I think it’s rather fitting, since his previous idea was to design a new form of vacuum-based transportation called Hyperloop, an idea he gave up on since he didn’t have the time (he’s already running 2 companies, Tesla and SpaceX). The idea was picked up by other companies though and are now doing some R&D to see if a prototype can be designed and tested. But this new “boring” company might actually tie in nicely with Hyperloop. If Musk does manage to design a machine that can bore tunnels more efficiently than the current technology, Musk might be paving the way for Hyperloop in the future. One thing is sure, Elon Musk likes to tackle complex technological problems.
