Elon Musk does not like traffic jams and we understand him. But here he lives in Los Angeles, where the cork is king. To overcome this urban worry, he created The Boring Compagny to dig road tunnels in the city.
Musk in search of a funny name
The goal is not to make a road underground, but a system that automatically carries the car on a platform at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour in order to cross a city at full speed. For example, if such a system were built in Paris, a vehicle would be able to do Porte d’Italie / Porte de la Chapelle in less than 3 minutes.
No matter if Musk does not yet have permissions, he has already begun digging. To dig faster, he needs a machine, a machine that does not have a name yet …
Thinking about a name for our first tunneling machine …

Musk asks for help from the community for the name of his machine. He has already thought of Ultimate Boring Machine The Second, (it’s more credible if it’s the second), but remains open to all proposals.
Maybe Ultimate Boring Machine, the Second

For example, he claims to love the name Snoop Dug which was blown to him. But it’s not too late to choose another name! If you have a funny name in mind, you know what to do!
Kinda like Snoop Dug

And why not … THE TUNNELATOR?
