Our take
Addressing urban congestion, The Boring Company aims to build tunnel systems in major US cities, as well as products that help transport materials underground with as little disruption as possible. Founded by Elon Musk, the company boasts both strong initial support as well as a good deal of scepticism towards its mission.
The company has raised impressive funding, including a $675 million Series C in 2022, and is a certified Unicorn. It has completed successful tunnel projects in Las Vegas, although safety concerns were raised in 2024 regarding a tunnel planned to span 68 miles beneath the Nevada city.
Its certainly an interesting proposition, but we will have to wait and see how The Boring Company's projects really fare in reducing overground traffic. Meanwhile, the success of the company has been a little obscured by the use of its website to advertise zombie apocalypse “not-a-flamethrowers” and a retail page for Elon's “Burnt Hair” fragrance.
