The Boring Company (2017)

Because he was annoyed by traffic jams, Musk founded "The Boring Company." With it, he wants to build tunnel-boring machines on moving traffic underground. The company has since built a 1.15-mile research and development tunnel in California and is currently working on the "Vegas Loop," a public transportation system at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Just like SpaceX, costs play an important role in this company, too: new technologies are to be used to push them down as far as possible.

Musk has also announced another competition - the Not-a-boring Competition. In this competition, teams from all over the world are trying to build the fastest tunnel boring machine in the world. One participant: TUM Boring, a group of students from Munich.
