Elon Musk said his Boring Co. venture is working on a tunnel project in Texas that would connect the cities of Austin and San Antonio.
“Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours,” Musk said in a poston his social media platform X. “@BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.”
The tunneling company this month raised $3 billion in new funding, which Boring said will be used to support deployment of underground transportation infrastructure across the United Arab Emirates.
Boring has few successes to tout so far despite Musk’s ambitious goals for the business.
In addition to its flagship Vegas Loop, which is operational, it broke ground for a tunnel in Nashville this year and will start building its Dubai Loop in late 2026.
The company is also building tunnels in Bastrop, Texas, to link Musk-owned properties and allow employees of Boring, SpaceX, Tesla and X to travel between them, people familiar with the plans told Bloomberg News last year.

At the same time, Kansas City Fire Department officials were also dispatched to the same location due to a reported fire. Police and Fire Department personnel
discovered that a Telsa Cybertruck had sustained fire damage and had been shot with a firearm approximately nine times.
Officers observed what appeared to be a flammable fluid on the vehicle, broken glass, a charred cloth, propane hand torch, and a cigarette lighter on the ground.
Officers also noticed that a nearby Tesla Model Y vehicle had approximately seven bullet holes located on the hood. Officers also discovered an unbroken suspected incendiary device with a cloth wick sticking out of the bottle and having an odor of suspected gasoline.
Police recovered the unbroken suspected incendiary device, also known as a Molotov cocktail. Investigators also discovered that a second Telsa Cybertruck was damaged by a bullet that was an apparent ricochet from one of the rounds that was aimed at the first Cybertruck.
