						<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s Boring Company might be digging its next tunnel in Texas.</p>
<p>The infrastructure firm says it&#8217;s looking to set up shop in Austin while it works to build underground transportation systems on both US coasts.</p>
<p>The company shared <strong>job listings</strong> Monday for five engineers and three operations gigs — including a &#8220;business development lead&#8221; —&nbsp; in the Lone Star State capital while hinting that it may pursue a project there.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rumor has it that &#8216;Austin Chalk&#8217; is geologically one of best soils for tunneling,&#8221; The Boring Company said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/boringcompany/status/1325869483760607232" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter post</a>. &#8220;Want to find out? Austin jobs now available.&#8221;</p>
<p>The job descriptions note that the company&#8217;s main goal is to develop a &#8220;hyperloop,&#8221; a series of giant underground vacuum tubes that could carry passengers between cities at more than 600 miles per hour. Boring rival Virgin Hyperloop ran its <strong>first test of such a system</strong> with passengers on board over the weekend.</p>
<p>The Boring Company is also working on three less futuristic projects known as <strong>&#8220;loops,&#8221;</strong> which aim to transport people through tunnels in autonomous electric cars. The company has <strong>gotten the green light</strong> to build one in Las Vegas and has proposed two others running to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and between Baltimore and Washington, DC on the East Coast.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear what The Boring Company might have in store for Austin. But Tesla, Musk&#8217;s electric-car maker, is planning to build its next US factory there in exchange for about <strong>$15 million in tax breaks.</strong></p>
