In 2017, Elon told TED his pet snail Gary was 14× faster than a tunnel boring machine. He didn't just joke about it. He made it a target. His fix for traffic: dig and build the tunnel wall at the same time, then build a 3D network of tunnels under our cities. Today Prufrock mines continuously with zero people in the tunnel, it's built to be 6× faster than its predecessor, and every Prufrock gets reused. Tunnels are already carrying Teslas in Las Vegas. "One day, Prufrock will beat the snail." — Elon Beat the snail. Beat traffic. 🐌🚇 Elon's voice: TED 2017. Footage: The Boring Company. Video made by my AI, Grok Bot.
