“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!”
“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.”
“@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.”
“Btw, 99% likely to be fine (closed loop TVC wd overcome error), but that 1% chance isn't worth rolling the dice. Better to wait a day.”
“@UniverCurious High time we had tunnels!”
“@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.”
“Tesla owner drives through a flooded tunnel & out the other side https://t.co/RmPxdZShhq http://electrek.co/2016/06/18/tesla-model-s-driving-swimming-flooded-tunnel-video/”
“@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/”
“@PopMech Tunnels ftw”
“@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.”
“A Model S in The Boring Company tunnel being dug under Los Angeles (starting in Hawthorne) https://t.co/tQVD5KkIvb https://www.instagram.com/p/BYUeGjmAh8N/”
“@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”
“@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)”
“@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)”
“@TEDTalks @i_firth Norway has some really cool tunnels and bridges”
“@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.”
“@MinimalDuck @Tesla @Gfilche @WholeMarsBlog Tunnels …”
“Will publish Hyperloop alpha design by Aug 12. Critical feedback for improvements would be much appreciated.”
“@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”
“@ajtourville Important to note that we also use the Tesla HW4 AI computer in the training loop with Nvidia GPUs, currently at roughly a 1:2 ratio. Also, we’re changing the name from Hardware 4 (HW4) to Artificial Intelligence 4 (AI4). That means ~90k H100, plus ~40k AI4 computers.”
“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.”
“The race between Gary, our pet snail who lives in a pineapple, and Godot, our tunnel boring… https://t.co/IES65Y99gJ https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_iL-aBCzj/”
“@MissTrade Already started DC to NY route. Hopefully start LA to SF next year. That will be true @Hyperloop w pressurized pods in near vacuum tunnels & faster than jetliner.”
“@erikbryn @ericschmidt @CondoleezzaRice @scsp_ai @Ukraine Hyperloop could do that trip in less than half an hour”
“@BillyM2k Or maybe a “Check with us again tomorrow” loop”
“@teslaownersSV @boringcompany Tunnels will solve. Already happening with @boringcompany in Vegas.”
“Entry hole, staging area and starting tunnel for Boring Machine 1 (aka Godot) now complete https://t.co/8taxTMDcDV https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_gHStBjm6/”
“@OfficeOfMike @DasaelR @QuintusActual @iamgingertrash These judges are breaking the feedback loop to the people and therefore subverting democracy itself”
“@nikitabier Use @boringcompany tunnels”
“@longmier @grok @boringcompany Grok won’t need HFT to build a collider, just some help from the Optimi and Boring Company”
“@IndianInterest Actually, Hyperloop draws a near vacuum in tube & each pod is powered w electric motors. It is opposite of pneumatically powered.”
