In addition to Elon Musk's companies in the form of Tesla and SpaceX, attention was also paid to innovative projects from The Boring Company workshop. Almost all of us are familiar with their plans for the creation of an underground transport network, which has the task of relieving and speeding up the classic ground infrastructure. In recent months, the company has been trying to arrange various permits for the expansion of construction and the creation of new projects, which so far appears to be a successful step. Proof of this is the acquisition of a huge contract in Chicago, USA, which is related to the construction of a tunnel under O'Hare International Airport. However, according to the latest information, "The Boring Company" has succeeded in another respectable and this time even more innovative project.

The Boring Company has received permission from the city council in Hawthorne, California, to build a test tunnel that will transport your car from the garage directly into an underground Hyperloop-style network. This garage will be located on private land near the SpaceX headquarters that has been leased by Musk's company. A condition for testing is the prohibition of public access to this "underground elevator" and also the rule that no car can leave the garage on the open street, for reasons of safety and maintaining the flow of traffic. The test vehicles will instead depart from the aforementioned SpaceX and remain within a one-mile distance between the garage and the company's headquarters.
Lowering vehicles into the shaft will work on the principle of a moving platform that will connect to the Hyperloop system and allow the car to seamlessly enter the network. In connection with the start of the project, more than a hundred households were warned about possible noise during the excavation work, as well as for safety reasons. In addition, Musk also boasted about a new marketing move. Excavated material will be used by The Boring Company to create company-branded bricks that will be available for 10 cents each. However, if you prove that you are working on a certain project related to building construction, you get them for free. Elon Musk is apparently still very fond of engaging in non-traditional ways of promoting his companies. It seems that aside from the flamethrowers, caps, and clay bricks, we still haven't seen his absolute most outlandish marketing move yet.
