GoKawiilBoring Company floats Hyperloop plan for Austin-San Antonio route
Elon Musk said his tunneling company, The Boring Company, is developing an early-stage Hyperloop concept meant to cut travel time between Austin and San Antonio to under 30 minutes. The company's official account confirmed interest in building the project, though Musk's comment originated as a reply to an AI-generated sci-fi video rather than a formal announcement.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The Boring Company has a long history of announcing ambitious tunnel projects in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles that were later abandoned, so this Hyperloop idea faces skepticism about feasibility. Still, the company's recent $3 billion funding round backed by the UAE and its operating Las Vegas tunnel system suggest it has resources to pursue at least a pilot version.
- Musk describes the project as an early 'precursor Hyperloop' concept, not a confirmed build.
- The Boring Company has a track record of unfulfilled tunnel proposals in multiple U.S. cities.
- A $3 billion funding round led by the UAE gives the company fresh capital despite past setbacks.
