Elon Musk

Elon Musk revealed over the weekend that a new arm of the tunneling venture, The Boring Company, is in the works for China, a place where his electric car company also happens to be making some inroads. ​​

Not a lot has been revealed since Elon Musk announced his Neuralink venture two years ago, but the company today emerged from the shadows to share its progress so far, along with its plans for the future, which involve implanting its first chips in human as early next year. ​​

A Las Vegas tourism authority has signed off on a contract worth almost US$50 million that will see The Boring Company design and construct a set of tunnels beneath the city's new convention center, which guests will travel aboard self-driving electric vehicles. ​

​An "Autonomy day" for Tesla investors put a microphone in front of Elon Musk, and we all know what happens when you do that. Here's a collection of typically outrageous and colorful quotes from Captain Moonshot, who stands to go down as one of this era's most fascinating innovators.

​​Tesla finally launched its crossover SUV today. The shiny new Tesla Model Y shares plenty of DNA with the company’s Model 3 sedan, albeit with a little less range, a little more bulk and a slightly higher price tag.​

Tesla's long-promised US$35,000 electric car still remains somewhere down the road, but little by little the company is edging towards this kind of mass market pricing for its increasingly popular Model 3.

​​Lifting all the pieces needed to colonize Mars off the face off the Earth is going to involve some serious firepower, and SpaceX has just tested out an important piece of the puzzle, engaging a flight version of its Raptor engine for the first time.

The Sun is setting on 2018, and with so many eyes on (and in) the skies it’s been a stellar year for space photography. From mesmerizing nebulae to historic firsts to stunning views of Earth and other planets, New Atlas rounds up some of the best space photos of the year.

​The Boring Company has moved rather swiftly since CEO Elon Musk first floated the idea of overcoming LA’s notorious traffic woes by digging underneath them. Two years after he publicly raised the concept, the startup has now snipped the ribbon on its first tunnel.
