Mehran GulGUEST
Um, you know, if you look at a place like Germany for instance, it's really their small and medium enterprises where you find most of the most innovative things happening.
Mehran GulGUEST
Um, you know, we talk about The Boring Company, Elon Musk's sort of, you know, fourth or fifth venture.
Mehran GulGUEST
It's worth about seven billion dollars today.
Mehran GulGUEST
But, um, there is a German company called Herrenknecht which has done thousands of projects more, uh, than The Boring Company.
Mehran GulGUEST
If you're trying to build a subway in Doha, Qatar, for instance, you would-- uh, any technical expert would always, or almost always turn to Herren-Herrenknecht rather than to The Boring Company.
Mehran GulGUEST
And so over there it's really these, uh, private ent-- these small and medium enterprises that are driving Um, innovation forward.
Mehran GulGUEST
So, um, I think the benefit of having a competitive approach is exactly that, that you can begin to see innovation as something that doesn't necessarily happen with the Silicon Valley formula.
Brian SedgeleyHOST
... how they do this.
Ronnie FultonHOST
That's The Boring Company?
Brian SedgeleyHOST
Yeah, it's The Boring Company.
Jason BentHOST
[laughs] Yeah.
Brian SedgeleyHOST
And now, now they're doing Nashville and all these other cities, and right when you think...
Georgia TolleyHOST
Lots happened over the weekend.
Georgia TolleyHOST
First up, we're going to discuss the fact that the UAE is backing Elon Musk's Boring Company.
Georgia TolleyHOST
That is, as it plans, more than 150 kilometres of tunnels across the country.
Georgia TolleyHOST
We're going to ask a transport expert whether putting cars underground is the answer we wanted for congestion.
16 MINS LATER
Georgia TolleyHOST
And there's been some interesting news coming out as well.
Georgia TolleyHOST
You know, you get a sense that people have been beavering away over the summer and now the deals are finally coming to fruition.
Georgia TolleyHOST
And one of them involves Elon Musk's company, The Boring Company.
Georgia TolleyHOST
Have you heard about it? It's not as famous as SpaceX.
ZacHOST
plain tired.
ZacHOST
We've kept reporting on Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company, and Neuralink News.
ZacHOST
675 episodes in a row.
ZacHOST
This is the longest running show on everything Elon on the internet.
ZacHOST
European deliveries will start in 2027.
ZacHOST
Tesla will be showing off the truck at the IAA Transportation Conference in Hanover, Germany, September 15th through the 20th.
JesseHOST
The Boring Company has just filed for a permit with the city of Austin to build a single lane tunnel on the Giga Texas campus called the Tesla Colorado River Tunnel.
JesseHOST
So here it is.
speaker_0HOST
So let's start the clock and see if that turns out to be true.
speaker_0HOST
And just like I talked about in my Overflow News shows, The Boring Company was about to close the founding and that has officially been confirmed as they wrote on X.
speaker_0HOST
The Boring Company is pleased to announce our Series D founding round of $3 billion, led by the United Arab Emirates.
speaker_0HOST
The financing now values the Boring Company at $23 billion.
speaker_0HOST
The capital will scale the tunneling operation for projects like the Las Vegas Loop expansion, Nashville's Music City Loop, and major new partnerships deploying over 150 kilometers of tunnel across the UAE beyond the existing Dubai Loop.
speaker_0HOST
Nice.
speaker_7HOST
where we are seeing now that all of these tunnel systems are not just one layer they are all multiple levels where according to patrick few people have seen the tunnels now i want to explain something this is an important time for us to show these old world tunnel systems to everybody in the world because they are in the middle of normalizing tunnels which would completely saturate the entire topic At the moment, we are not used to the tunnels being underneath all of our major cities.
speaker_7HOST
But after The Boring Company, or whoever else starts digging under our cities again, these tunnels from the old world are not going to be shocking anymore.
speaker_7HOST
It will be normal, where we know that it is not normal.
speaker_7HOST
to have multiple layered tunnel systems from the old world.
Werd BadawiHOST
It's because of their planning for the future that it has come to be this way.
Werd BadawiHOST
And we even see it with companies already operating in the country, like Elon Musk's, the boring company, which just so happened to raise $3 billion in fresh funding, led by the United Arab Emirates, valuing the tunneling startup at $23 billion.
Werd BadawiHOST
The investment will support a major expansion across the Emirates, including plans to build more than 150 kilometers of underground transport infrastructure.
Abdul Majid AwanHOST
And the expansion builds on the Dubai loop.
Abdul Majid AwanHOST
So this is 150 kilometers separate from Dubai loop.
Abdul Majid AwanHOST
That's a different project, but kind of part of the same contract, which was previously awarded to the Boring Company by Dubai and RTA.
Abdul Majid AwanHOST
The company said the new investment would accelerate its UAE partnership and help deploy what it described as mass quantities of underground infrastructure across the country, taking the project far beyond Dubai.
Werd BadawiHOST
Dubai-based Shamal Holding is among the investors backing the Series D.
PatrickHOST
Tesla rolled out the update as part of the broader 2026.32 software branch.
PatrickHOST
The Boring Company raised $3 billion in a round that values the tunneling firm at $23 billion.
PatrickHOST
Funds will support expanded tunnel networks designed for Tesla vehicle use.
PatrickHOST
The investment round was led by investors focused on infrastructure projects.
PatrickHOST
The Boring Company's tunnels are intended to carry Tesla vehicles in urban settings.
PatrickHOST
BYD maintained a sizable lead in quarterly EV deliveries over Tesla.
PatrickHOST
The gap has persisted across multiple quarters despite Tesla's new model launches.
Gary FowlerHOST
Unexplainable stuff.
Gary FowlerHOST
And You know, we've got to get down through, you know, Elon Musk is looking at, and there's a reason that he built the robots and the Boring Company and solar panels, so we can colonize other planets.
Gary FowlerHOST
You and I were working the other night on trans-dimensional travel and traveling through wormholes, and she was actually starting to do calculations, like I've never seen before, quite frankly.
Gary FowlerHOST
But, you know, there's some things that now, you know, a near-normal person can use these tools and have superpowers.
Carson J GalloHOST
oh yeah spacex cruise
Ryan ThomsonGUEST
i love the robocraft that they have right i would i would hope though that eventually we see uh my big theory is that somewhere within the next two years we're gonna see spacex buy neuralink outright um just because elon has uh a decent amount of shares in that company i don't think he has you might have a majority share but it's close to at least half share um so he'll just you know he won't even want the the cash for it like he'll offer other investors like cash or equity but he'll just take more spacex equity And then on the flip side, same thing with Boring Company.
Ryan ThomsonGUEST
He owns that outright.
Ryan ThomsonGUEST
So if he can do that, maybe we'll finally see the approved tunnel that was proposed between Brownsville and over to South Padraic.
