Elon Musk took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared a post claiming that the Boring Company&#8217;s tunnel could shrink that multi-hour drive down to a consistent under-30-minute trip. If it comes together, the project would rank among the most ambitious infrastructure undertakings Musk&#8217;s tunneling company has attempted to date \u2014 linking two of Texas&#8217;s fastest-growing cities with a route that bypasses surface traffic entirely.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk\u2019s claims to cut 2.5-hour Texas drive to under 30 minutes<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (&gt;200 mph). Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent The announcement comes just weeks after Boring raised $3 billion in new funding, though that capital was earmarked for a different purpose: supporting the company&#8217;s push to build underground transportation infrastructure across the United Arab Emirates, not the newly floated Texas project.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>A company still chasing its big breakthrough<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Despite Musk&#8217;s characteristically bold ambitions for the business, Boring has relatively little to show for it so far. Its only fully operational project remains the Vegas Loop, while a Nashville tunnel broke ground this year and its Dubai Loop isn&#8217;t slated to begin construction until late 2026.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Closer to home, Boring is also digging tunnels in Bastrop, Texas, reportedly to link properties owned by Musk himself, allowing employees of Boring, SpaceX, Tesla, and X to move between them without surfacing \u2014 a project people familiar with the plans described to Bloomberg last year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk has a new home<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In another news, Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest man, has a rather unusual new home in Memphis, Tennessee. Instead of staying in a luxury mansion or high-end hotel, Musk has reportedly been sleeping in an Airstream trailer for more than 10 days while staying close to xAI\u2019s expanding Colossus supercomputer facility. Musk revealed his new \u201cpalace\u201d while recording an episode of the All-In podcast with SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The trailer is parked near xAI\u2019s massive infrastructure project, letting Musk stay close to the company\u2019s operations as it races to expand its computing capacity.
