Elon Musk's tunneling startup The Boring Company raised $3 billion in a new funding round valuing the company at $29 billion. The round was led by UAE-based investment vehicles and Shamal Holding.
The capital is earmarked to develop large-scale urban transit projects in the region, including more than 150 kilometers of subterranean transport tunnels spanning Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The Dubai Loop project is planned in coordination with local transport authorities to reduce urban congestion.
