Elon Musk takes to Twitter to find titles for ‘Boring Company’: You can suggest a name too

Thinking about a name for our first tunneling machine …

However, the name ‘Boring machine’ seemed to catch Musk’s attention the most. “Good one,” he said in reply.

Previously, Elon Musk, in a series of tweet wrote about how he was frustrated with traffic and plans to build a ‘tunnel boring machine.’  “Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging…It shall be called “The Boring Company,” he wrote on Twitter. In another tweet, Musk wrote, “I am actually going to do this.”

This isn’t the first time that Musk has proposed an idea to make transportation faster for people. Hyperloop, Musk’s pet project and brainchild, proposes to propel pod-like vehicles through a near-vacuum tube at speeds close to 1200 km/h. “Hyperloop is a new way to move people and things at airline speeds for the price of a bus ticket. It’s on-demand, energy-efficient and safe. Think: broadband for transportation,” the company says on its website.
