The days of selling flamethrowers for publicity are in the rearview for Elon Musk’s Boring Company, and the company is landing real projects. Those include a tunnel under Las Vegas and now, according to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, the Music City Loop, which will run under Nashville—if the project survives the approvals process.

Elon Musk's tunnelling firm, The Boring Company, has unveiled plans to build a so-called Tesla tunnel loop under Nashville. The underground freight tunnel will use Tesla vehicles to transport people from the city's downtown to Nashville International Airport in around eight minutes.

Nashville's Mayor reveals he knew about The Boring Company's interest in the tunnel connecting BNA to downtown for about a year without offering support.
