Of all the horse shit shoveled by Elon Musk, the Boring Company arguably remains his largest mound of said shoveled horse shit. The Technoking’s most diehard serfs love to forget that his transit infrastructure project’s major selling point — a next-gen network of sleds and pods capable of zooming cars and humans to destinations at breakneck speeds — currently amounts to roughly 2 miles of Tesla traffic jams underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center.
And yet, the Boring Company continues to gain traction. Fort Lauderdale wants in on the subterranean Tesla convoys, and Vegas was apparently wowed enough by what it’s seen that it also commissioned another 29 miles of autopilot mediocrity. Then there’s the company’s recent round of Series C funding — all $675 million of it. In total, the Boring Company is currently worth around $5.675 billion.
