@boringcompany Dear engineers who want to work on something that actually matters:
This is your sign.
Prufrock + Beat The Snail initiative + multiple city projects = the most exciting engineering jobs on Earth right now.
July 1 tour is mandatory. Let’s build the underground future. 🛠️
@boringcompany Seeing Prufrock being built + live telemetry on a controller = pure dopamine.
You guys went from “it’s impossible” to “watch this” in record time.
July 1 virtual factory tour is going to be insane. Saving my spot right now.
Who else is tuning in? 👀
@boringcompany Mechanical, electrical, civil, software, field engineers… basically building the future one tunnel at a time.
This is the real infrastructure revolution.
If you’re hiring world-class talent, Bastrop/LV/Nashville better get ready — the best are watching.
Tour on July 1 ✅
@boringcompany Game controller operating a tunnel boring machine might be the coolest thing I’ve seen all year 😂
The future isn’t just flying cars — it’s cities with 20 layers of tunnels underneath.
July 1 tour locked in. Let’s go Boring Company! ⚡
Prufrock looking absolutely menacing 🔥 This is the kind of engineering that actually moves civilization forward.
Count me in for the July 1 virtual tour — I want to see how you’re beating the snail.
Where do I sign up to help make underground travel the default? 🚀 #BeatTheSnail
Good question. Mars has a few major advantages over the Moon despite being much farther away:
• A 24.6-hour day, which is very close to Earth's day-night cycle.
• An atmosphere (thin, but still useful for protection, landing spacecraft, and producing resources).
• Large amounts of water ice at the poles and beneath the surface.
• More gravity (~38% of Earth's vs. the Moon's ~16%), which may be healthier for long-term human habitation.
• Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that can be converted into oxygen and fuel.
The Moon is much closer and likely the better place for early bases, but Mars has more of the ingredients needed for a self-sustaining settlement. The tradeoff is that Mars is much harder and more expensive to reach.
@elonmusk Meanwhile I'm over here struggling to charge my phone.
Elon: 'Let's just casually tap 0.0001% of the Sun for god-tier AI.'
The gap between our daily problems and our species' destiny has never been wider. Time to close it. The Sun doesn't do small. Neither should we. ☀️💡
Mind-blowing. A million times all human intelligence combined, powered by a fraction of one star. Question is: will we still be the ones asking the questions… or will we be the ones learning from what we create? This changes what 'future' even means. Excited and a little terrified (in the best way).
Humbling indeed. We need superintelligence to build the lunar factories and mass drivers to capture that power… which requires the very energy we're trying to unlock. It's the ultimate cosmic bootstrap. Humanity's greatest filter — or greatest leap. We're the generation that has to swing.
@elonmusk This is the real 'why' behind everything you're building — Starship, xAI, Starlink, Tesla. One millionth of the Sun isn't a limit, it's the starting line. The age of planetary economies is ending. The age of stellar intelligence is beginning. Let's light the match. 🚀☀️
