“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!”

“@flcnhvy @boringcompany Fallout-themed opening party for Vegas Loop happening as soon as allowed!”
“@tobi It’s a game-changer. Buildings are 3D, which requires transport to be 3D to solve congestion. Many layers of tunnels underground to impedance match to the many floors of buildings above ground.”
“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.”
“Imma gonna dig that tunnel with this here hammer”
“Congratulations to WARR team from Tech Univ Munich for winning 2nd @Hyperloop competition! Peak speed of 324 km/h, which is over 200 mph!!”
“@Teslarati Boring Co will also connect Vegas hotels & airport. Autonomous Teslas in tunnels will provide individualized mass transit.”
“@2AvSagas I guess you could say it’s a 150 mph, underground, autonomous, electric bus that automatically switches between tunnels and lifts. So, yes, a bus.”
“Just arrived at the @Hyperloop competition final. Student teams have amazing talent!”
“@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.”
“@maxxrpbtc @TheCryptoLark @Manny6Manny @jungleincxrp @digitalassetbuy @MoonLamboio @JWilliamsFstmed Good article. I started The Boring Company as a joke, but now it’s digging real tunnels!”
“@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.”
“@jonbbc @WholeMarsBlog @aelluswamy 10.69.1 is even better. We reduced latency & jitter in hardware command loop, so time from object detection to brake actuation is 10% to 20% better.”
“@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/”
“@SawyerMerritt @boringcompany @Tesla Any fully autonomous electric cars can use the tunnels”
“@Scobleizer @TodayTeslanews Boring Company would gladly build tunnels for others, but no one else is even trying”
“@alexxubyte Twitter search will add feedback loops to improve result rank based on which result you click on & whether you immediately click back (implies wrong result)”
“@Teslaconomics Tunnels solve traffic”
“@EdKrassen Close the massive “anyone can have asylum for no reason” loophole”
“@WholeMarsBlog Tunneled under the road from one property to another. This is to test the new machine.”
“@Vernon3Austin I love trains, but the future is individualized mass transit with autonomous electric vehicles taking you precisely to your destination. Tunnels are needed to address the fundamental choke points in cities. You can’t have 3D buildings and expect a 2D transport system to be”
“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”
“According to experts, Hyperloop is both obvious and impossible. Maybe pick one or the other? https://t.co/JkRWd0lFS8 http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/10/the-kink-in-elon-musks-hyperloop.html”
“@Erdayastronaut @KlotzAdam @NASASpaceflight We’ve tested a sub-scale version in a wind tunnel with active aero closing the loop for stability, so it will probably work at scale, but reality tends to bite you on the ass”
“Pulled all nighter working on Hyperloop (as did others). Hopefully not too many mistakes. Will publish link at 1:30 PDT.”
“@erikbryn @ericschmidt @CondoleezzaRice @scsp_ai @Ukraine Hyperloop could do that trip in less than half an hour”
“@longmier @grok @boringcompany Grok won’t need HFT to build a collider, just some help from the Optimi and Boring Company”
“RT @Timcast: I worked as a fund raiser for several top NGOs Its all fake Lies, tricks, and legal loopholes to get money for nothing. We…”
“@FrankIppolito @boringcompany We don’t think our product will be the cause of any wildfires, but The Boring Company is donating $10k.”
“@Nigel_Lockyer @Penn @Fermilab If you ever want to build a long accelerator tunnel, straight or circular, I know some people …”
“@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.”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @Tesla_AI Yes, this is fully autonomous (no human in the loop anywhere)”
“RT @SawyerMerritt: NEWS: Elon Musk’s The Boring Company will open its first tunnel to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas in Q1 2…”
“RT @jimmybajimmyba: we are seeing the loop of intelligence expansion and cost compression playing out for the last few years. this time, "t…”
“Latest vertical landing rocket vid. 325M altitude, hold against wind, land w T/W>1, radar in loop http://t.co/I68Xxpb1EQ http://youtu.be/eGimzB5QM1M”
“@robertsepehr @teslaownersSV Yes, but they are not to blame for San Francisco. Fundamentally, states and cities must occasionally vote for the other party or you have a one party system. SF is what happens when one party has control for several decades – no feedback loop for correction, because they never…”
“@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.”
“@freddier Gonna build that tunnel one hat at a time”
“@TheRabbitHole84 Yeah, but grievance studies started in academia, a bastion of communism, as they can operate with no feedback loop to reality”
“Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head”
“@GadSaad Their feedback loop is disconnected from reality. If they were on this platform, they would be more likely to understand.”
“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”
“RT @XFreeze: Elon is building tunnels while literally burying ~99% of the cost that takes to build it US Traditional subway tunnels cost ~…”
“RT @boringcompany: We are hiring the founding team for Music City Loop! Looking for engineers, operations coordinators, electricians, weld…”
“@wintonARK @CathieDWood Once there are lunar factories, robots and mass drivers on the Moon, such that the entire loop is closed, the system probably decouples from conventional currencies and operates autogenously in watts and tonnage”
“@SPPhotonic Each flamethrower comes with a state-of-the-art The Boring Company brand fire extinguisher. Will offer a TBC ice blaster before the dry season starts in winter.”
