From Article, "Boring! Is Elon Musk digging his own hole?"
(What will the Boring Company do? Who knows? He might create a brand new infrastructure specifically for driverless cars. He might begin to manufacture machines capable of drilling the first Hyperloop routes. He might, I don’t know, drill a tunnel to Mars. My stupid human brain isn’t powerful enough to keep up with Elon Musk.)
Me, "Elon Musk knows how to generate news. In this day and age where constructing underground tunnels is a billion dollar job, maybe he sees tunneling as a place where he can make mass transit or massive underground highways cheaper than the sandhog union workers of today can. Plus, if we do get to Mars, we are going to need tunneling technology, to survive underground, from the solar radiation on the surface. I could see Elon Musk creating a new, easier and less costly to use tunneling device, and as he is perfecting it have astronauts, in full Mars suit get up, learning how to use it for a mission to Mars. Besides, if he were joking about this wouldn't he have said so? And if it isn't a joke he realizes that tunneling will be an important technology to master."
