Elon Musk’s tunneling venture, The Boring Company, has closed a $3 billion funding round, lifting its valuation to $23 billion.

“A $23 billion valuation for a tunneling startup—still unproven at scale—underscores how infrastructure bets are attracting capital despite slower growth in traditional tech sectors.”
What it means
The UAE’s willingness to back large-scale civil engineering projects may signal a broader shift in sovereign investment toward physical infrastructure over software. For The Boring Company, the real test will be delivering on cost and speed promises, as past delays have raised skepticism. If successful, this could pressure competitors like Hyperloop or traditional transit firms to accelerate their own underground solutions.
