Elon Musk founded The Boring Company to reduce traffic congestion through underground tunnel systems. The idea began as a joke on Twitter but quickly became a real company. The Boring Company’s tunnel boring machines are designed to dig faster and more cheaply than traditional ones. In Las Vegas, the company has built a small tunnel network that transports passengers in Teslas. Musk envisions cities with layered tunnel systems to ease urban traffic. Although critics question scalability, the concept could complement other transportation solutions. Musk’s willingness to tackle complex infrastructure problems shows his desire to reshape how people move in cities.
