As if Tesla and SpaceX and neural lace tech and Hyperloop and SolarCity weren't quite enough simultaneous projects for Elon Musk, the man who longs for Mars has also been fiddling with a boring company. Now, we've gotten a glimpse of its first tunnel digger, perhaps earlier than intended.
The image was posted to Instagram by a SpaceX employee whose account is now suddenly private. The boring machine, which clearly displays the logo for Musk's company is one in the typical tubular style, destined to dig tunnels for traffic and Hyperloops alike, if all goes well. Chances are it will work a little something like this:
That said, Musk's goal is to dig tunnels as much as ten times faster but at a much lower cost, so this machine will have to have some tricks up its long, cylindrical sleeve. It should be interesting.
