Summary
Elon Musk said The Boring Company is developing a “simple precursor Hyperloop” linking Austin and San Antonio, with a target travel time of less than 30 minutes.
The claim surfaced in Musk’s reply to an AI-generated sci-fi video; the company’s account echoed it and said it would be “excited and honored” to build the project.
The Boring Company has announced other high-profile tunnel plans in Chicago, Los Angeles and the New York-Washington corridor that have not materialized.
The startup does run a tunnel-and-surface transit system in Las Vegas and recently raised $3 billion in funding led by the United Arab Emirates.
