The Boring Company is a tunneling and underground transportation infrastructure company founded by Elon Musk. It started as a SpaceX subsidiary in 2017 and was spun out as an independent company in 2018; it is headquartered in Bastrop, Texas, having relocated from Hawthorne, California. The company designs and builds its own tunnel boring machines (the Prufrock series) together with automated spoil-removal and construction equipment, aiming to dig urban tunnels far faster and more cheaply than conventional civil engineering. Its customers are municipal governments and large venue operators: the commercially operating Vegas Loop moves passengers through underground tunnels between the Las Vegas Convention Center, nearby venues and the airport using Tesla Model Y vehicles, while the Dubai Loop and Nashville's Music City Loop are under construction or planning. It targets surface congestion and the high cost and long build times of conventional subway construction.
