Elon Musk's Boring Company focuses on Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) designed for higher speed, Smaller-diameter tunnels, which reduce excavation costs, and allow continuous mining and lining, reducing cutting downtime. Musk made his first millions as a teenager with his first app. Today, he's taken over the world with Tesla, SpaceX, and much more. Here, we learn about Elon Musk’s Boring Company and its mission to dramatically reduce the cost, time, and disruption of digging tunnels. Traditional tunneling is slow, expensive, and highly customized. Musk’s team asked a different question: What if tunnel boring machines were faster, smaller, standardized, and mass-produced? Underground transport systems like Loop, where electric vehicles move people through tunnels. The result isn’t just about cars underground, it’s about rethinking urban infrastructure, from transportation and utilities to storm water, freight, and even power lines. But the biggest questions remain: Why is digging still so expensive compared to building above ground? Could cheaper tunnels unlock new city designs? What other industries depend on breakthroughs in boring, materials, and robotics? And could young engineers help design the next generation of machines that literally reshape the Earth? This episode isn’t about one company. It’s about how technology, mechanical engineering, automation, and bold thinking can turn an overlooked problem into a massive opportunity.#podcastclips #tech #entrepreneur #entertainment #science
