As of this very moment, he’s leading an agenda to ruin the federal government (DOGE), he’s building rocket ships and fancy cars, he’s shit-posting his way through every day at a rate that seems basically impossible and, apparently, he’s planning to construct a 10-mile subterranean tunnel in Dubai. Well, let’s clarify some of the above. Musk is definitely ruining the federal government—he seems to be working overtime on that initiative (with the help of a bunch of pimple-faced sycophants). He is definitely an oligarch, and he is definitely a jackass. He definitely tweets at what seems to be an impossible pace. But Musk, himself, isn’t building anything. The workers at Tesla are building his cars, and the workers at SpaceX are building his rocket ships. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants built his Gigafactory in Texas. And his tunnel construction and infrastructure company, The Boring Company, is the one that is planning to construct a tunnel in Dubai. On Thursday, the company announced its underground project via a press release on its website. “Dubai, under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has consistently aimed to be at the forefront of global urban development,” the press release reads. “The initial Dubai Loop pilot will have 11 stations and 17 kilometers of tunnel and will transport over 20,000 passengers per hour, with the goal of ultimately expanding into Dubai Loop, a next generation underground transportation system throughout the Emirate of Dubai.” If you’ve never heard of The Loop, well, lucky you. Basically, Boring’s Loop is a subterranean tunnel network, through which cars (specifically Teslas) can be driven at extremely slow speeds. Musk first unveiled The Loop in Las Vegas in 2021, at which point it was just one tunnel, and seemed like a laughably pointless project. More recent reporting from ProPublica has shown that Musk’s company is now constructing a broader Loop network beneath Vegas, with a planned tunnel system designed to stretch some 68 miles. However, as ProPublica has noted, because the project is privately funded, it has not had to go through the “vetting typical of public transit systems, including lengthy governmental studies,” which gives a distinctly sketchy hue to the entire thing.
