Next Big Thing From Elon Musk? It Could Be 'Boring' (usatoday.com)

A string of tweets put out by serial tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on Saturday hints that his entrepreneurial future may be a little "boring." USA Today reports: The Tesla and SpaceX founder got on Twitter on Saturday morning to rant about an issue he seems to find irksome -- traffic. Musk has also been working on resolving his frustration with traffic issues through above-ground means with his Hyperloop venture, which proposes a plan for mass-transit pods moving through above-ground tubes. But that doesn't appear to be enough, commenting: "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging..." He even offered up a name for the venture, calling it "The Boring Company," and began branding it with a slogan: "Boring, it's what we do." Then capped it off by tweeting, "I am actually going to do this."

Mr. Musk,

Sir, I apologise for disturbing your inane self-narration, but I must kindly request that you shut up.

Sincerely,
Some internet loser who doesn't even own a yacht.

He's a traitor! He wants to end reliance on fossil fuels. In Tumpmerica, he will be arrested, charged with crimes against coal, and thrown in prison!
