Founded in early 2017 out of Musk's frustration with traffic, The Boring Company aims to slash the cost and time of tunneling and build underground "Loop" systems where electric vehicles carry passengers point-to-point.
Its Las Vegas Convention Center Loop opened in 2021 as the first commercial Loop. The wider Vegas Loop has since grown to 8 operational stations and has carried more than 3 million passengers, with an approved network of 68 miles of tunnel and 104 stations designed to move up to ~90,000 passengers per hour. Construction on a Dubai Loop was reported to begin in 2026.
The company's Prufrock boring machines are designed to mine and install tunnel lining simultaneously, targeting over a mile per week — and set a record ~2.28-mile tunnel segment in 2026.
