Boring Company: News
The Boring Company is an interesting venture founded by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk who also leads SpaceX and Tesla. The company bores safe, fast-to-dig subterranean tunnels for low-cost utility, and freight transportation. The overall objective of the tunnels is to solve traffic congestion issues and enable rapid point-to-point transportation. The boring Company has successfully built two tunnels in Las vegas for loop travel. It also has a separate tunnel for testing Hyperloop in Hawthorne, California. The company started life as a subsidiary of SpaceX in December 2016, headquartered in Austin, Texas. It became an independent company in 2018. One of the Boring Company’s other products is a flamethrower humorously named Not a Flamethrower. The company sold 20,000 flamethrowers in total. The boring Company uses three machines to dig the tunnels namely, Godot, Line-storm, and Prufrock. The Prufrock is touted to be the first company fully designed by The Boring Company. It was assembled for service in February 2020.
