Behold, the boring machine for Elon Musk’s Boring Company

There will be a time in the future when everyone will be sick of “boring” puns in relation to Elon Musk’s new Boring Company. Alas, that time has not come yet. 

And how can you blame us, when what appears to be a huge boring machine just appeared in SpaceX’s back yard with a big “The Boring Company” sign on it?

Multiple photos of the machine appeared on social media Thursday, and though Musk himself remained silent, it’s quite obvious that we’ll soon hear about The Boring Company’s next endeavors. 

We’re not sure whether this is the same machine that Musk tweeted about in February, but it definitely looks like it’ll be used for tunneling of some sort. 

The images also don’t tell us much about Musk’s plans for the vaguely defined Boring Company. In February, Musk reportedly wanted to dig a tunnel leading from Crenshaw Boulevard to the SpaceX employee parking lot, in hope to speed up his (and other employees’) commute to work. 

Musk has been busy lately (when isn’t he). Besides helming Tesla and SpaceX, he announced the foundation of a new company called Neuralink, and it appears that The Boring Company is getting more serious as well. 

Musk first tweeted about the Boring Company late last year, while stuck in traffic on his way to work. What initially started as a joke quickly bloomed into a new business venture; but even Musk appears to be unsure where it’s heading.
