Elon Musk is one step closer to realizing his Hyperloop dreams. In a livestreamed video “information session” held last night at a Bel-Air synagogue, the self-anointed prophet of futurist transport announced his intention to dig a 2.7-mile test tunnel underneath Los Angeles’ busy Sepulveda Boulevard.

These construction plans are being paid for in part by a crowdfunding project in which the Boring Company pre-sold 20,000 flamethrowers (which, incidentally, are being shipped out soon).
