The Boring Company digs tunnels and is often described as a way to put public transportation underground instead of on tracks above ground. In this short, Tom argues that’s not why Elon Musk created it. The tunnels, like Musk’s other companies, point at a single goal: getting people to Mars and the Moon, not fixing traffic on Earth.
The claim here is that Musk is not primarily trying to make money or save the environment. When the human population is much larger, a lot of that growth, in this view, is meant to be off-world: on satellites, the Moon or Mars. People miss that in the noise, but that’s the through-line Tom sees across these businesses.
Key points
- The Boring Company builds underground tunnels often pitched as public transportation on Earth.
- Tom’s reading is that Musk built it for Mars and the Moon, not as an Earth-traffic business.
- The same long-term goal, in this view, runs through Musk’s other companies.
- The point of the short is to look past the noise and see that space purpose.
