“@FrancisSuarez @CityofMiami Cars & trucks stuck in traffic generate megatons of toxic gases & particulate, but @boringcompany road tunnels under Miami would solve traffic & be an example to the world. Spoke with @RonDeSantisFL about tunnels last week. If Governor & Mayor want this done, we will do it.”

“Upgraded SpaceX/Tesla Hyperloop pod speed test soon. Will try to reach half speed of sound (and brake) within ~1.2km.”
“Boring Company guide to why tunnels are awesome & safest place to be in an earthquake https://t.co/ZZIPQlscw1 http://boringcompany.com/faq”
“This time, the vacuum tunnel will be a bit longer & SpaceX will provide some advance funding for student teams with most promising designs. Bonus award for all race pods that exceed half the speed of sound!”
“That special hat delivery will take place deep within the real, but fictional (of course), tunnel we are building under LA while you drive the giant machine blindfolded. This will actually happen.”
“Congratulations to WARR team from Tech Univ Munich for winning 2nd @Hyperloop competition! Peak speed of 324 km/h, which is over 200 mph!!”
“To preserve the transcendent majesty & specialness of The Boring Company cap, we are capping cap orders at 50,000 caps. Almost there ... https://t.co/YqjEQAfy3u https://www.boringcompany.com/hat/”
“@ikristoph @brickroad7 Team is closing the loop on interventions very rapidly. To get enough training examples for potential serious accidents, we have to run them in sim, as we have so few in the fleet, despite doing ~1M miles per day of FSD.”
“@PeterDiamandis Total miles traveled will increase significantly when people don’t have to drive themselves in soil-destroying traffic. The resulting traffic increase will slow transit times, even with autonomous cars. That’s why we will need a network of multi-level tunnels, which can… https://t.co/154llN6r3D https://x.com/i/web/status/2022422853094916496”
“@jacobinmag Btw, if anyone else wants to build this tunnel, please do so. It’s a lot of work.”
“@rainnwilson Your Tesla can function as a boat for brief periods of time https://t.co/FONhnIiv8j https://electrek.co/2016/06/18/tesla-model-s-driving-swimming-flooded-tunnel-video/”
“@Kristennetten @boringcompany @Tesla We simplified this a lot. It’s basically just Teslas in tunnels at this point, which is way more profound than it sounds.”
“Naming theme for tunnel boring machines will be poems & plays. Decided against plays & poems. Too obvious.”
“@bscholl There has to be an effective feedback loop to the people or we live in rule of the bureau, not rule of the people (demos)”
“Promising conversations with @MayorOfLA regarding tunnel network that would carry cars, bikes & pedestrians. Permits harder than technology. https://t.co/0dxrXBOOWy https://x.com/abc7adrienne/status/876114755169079296”
“@OfficeOfMike @DasaelR @QuintusActual @iamgingertrash These judges are breaking the feedback loop to the people and therefore subverting democracy itself”
“@IndianInterest Actually, Hyperloop draws a near vacuum in tube & each pod is powered w electric motors. It is opposite of pneumatically powered.”
“First tunnel for The Boring Company begins ... Full length of first tunnel will run from LAX to… https://t.co/Dbf2nkHfb2 https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_gxWhB1_8/”
“@FrankIppolito @boringcompany We don’t think our product will be the cause of any wildfires, but The Boring Company is donating $10k.”
“@teslaownersSV @Benioff Boring Co is completing its first commercial tunnel in Vegas, going from Convention Center to Strip, then will work on other projects”
“@WesleyHuntTX Boring Company tunnels will work and cost <10% of alternatives. If more flow is needed, additional tunnels can be built and furthermore they can be route water from many parts of the city, not just one.”
“@curiousworlds For sure. First set of tunnels are to alleviate greater LA urban congestion. Will start NY-DC in parallel. Then prob LA-SF and a TX loop.”
“RT @jimmybajimmyba: we are seeing the loop of intelligence expansion and cost compression playing out for the last few years. this time, "t…”
“RT @boringcompany: Announcing Music City Loop! The Boring Company is coming to the State of Tennessee. Las Vegas Loop has already moved…”
“@truth_tesla @LimitingThe Yes. Physics of large cells means distance from cooling loop to center of cell is high, so harder to prevent hotspots. Then, pressure & heat released from large cell in weak bag make it impossible to stop whole pack from burning. Pretty basic.”
“RT @boringcompany: Timelapse of most recent Tunnel Boring Machine breakthrough in Las Vegas https://t.co/OBLEmzNNZ6”
“@JonAttenborough @cFidd Absolutely. Multi-level tunnels can go under buildings, mountains, rivers or anything else & directly connect destinations, like aircraft do in the sky. We just need more of them.”
“@TheRabbitHole84 Yeah, but grievance studies started in academia, a bastion of communism, as they can operate with no feedback loop to reality”
“RT @teslaownersSV: Elon Musk “If there's not a good feedback loop from the people to the government, and if you have rule of the bureaucrat…”
“Also thinking of having an annual student Hyperloop pod racer competition, like Formula SAE http://t.co/HV9BLCoMb8 http://students.sae.org/cds/formulaseries/about.htm”

“@ejohnson99 City of Chicago already approached us about doing a high speed tunnel from O'Hare to downtown. They've been great.”

“RT @cb_doge: "There is a massive amount of corruption, effectively there’s a giant fraud loophole where the government can send money to an…”
“@drefanzor @stillgray That would be funny. Amazing in every way, but has the hands of a powerlifter! 😂 If someone is very attractive, their feedback loop to reality is affected. If they’re good-looking from a young age, they don’t even realize this is possible.”
“@benedictevans @parthsheth Avg speed of NY Subway is actually 17mph. TBC loop can run at 155mph with 16 pax autopods passing every second, routing automatically between tunnels to their destination. That’s 57,600/hour/lane & you can build dozens of lanes. Will crush any subway in throughput & convenience.”
“@YIMBYLAND The @boringcompany can beat this speed in a (near) vacuum tunnel. Air at anywhere near 1 bar is like running in molasses, due to drag increasing with the square of velocity and the effective drag coefficient spiking as you get close to Mach 1. https://t.co/Z89ou5D8XQ”

“@quayran Opposite is true: you can have 100’s of layers of tunnels, but only one layer on surface (to first approximation), therefore trains should be on surface, cars below”
