The Boring Company Embroidered Cap

Product Information

The Boring Company was founded by Elon Musk with the goal of finding a fast and inexpensive way to construct tunnels for vehicles and high-speed trains. In February, a large hole meant to be a demonstration project was dug on the SpaceX campus in Hawthorne, California, as reported by Bloomberg. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, started The Boring Company in December of 2016 after expressing frustration with traffic in Los Angeles. The company's goal is to construct a tunnel system to connect the underground parts of the city. In addition to this objective, The Boring Company has also been successful in selling a large number of hats. While the tunnel project has yet to be completed, the hat sales have exceeded Musk's expectations. In a tweet, Musk mentioned that the hat sales had doubled from a few weeks prior and that the proceeds would be used to fund research into cost-effective tunnel-boring technology for the company. No disruptive surface vibration or noise during tunneling: once a tunnel boring machine is below approximately two tunnel diameters, or 28 feet, the tunneling process is almost impossible to detect, especially in soft soil. The tunnel operation is inaudible, and there is typically more surface vibration felt from a pedestrian walking nearby than from the TBM operating 30+ feet below The not-very-limited edition hat, however jokingly marketed, has been a fundraiser for Musk’s Boring Company, which is promising to revolutionise transport by building tunnels far more efficiently and cheaply than at present. Musk suggests much narrower tunnels could be built, for a tenth of current standard costs, supporting a network of vehicles on electric skates.

Includes: tunnel (12-foot inner diameter), LED lighting, CCTV video system, project engineering, environmental review, and permitting Minimal Use of Land: tunnels minimize the use of valuable surface land. Tunnels also do not conflict with currently operating transportation systems, such as roads and sidewalks

Beautify our cities: existing transportation networks occupy valuable space in cities where land availability is scarce. Tunnels minimize usage of surface area and could move entire transportation networks underground. Taking transportation underground allows us to repurpose roads into community-enhancing spaces, and beautify our cities. The company is planning to construct a tunnel parallel to Los Angeles’s congested I-405 – conveniently also speeding Elon Musk’s personal commute from his home in Bel Air to Hawthorne, California.
