• Elon Musk announced on Friday that drilling on the
  first Boring Company tunnel was complete, and shared footage of
  the enormous drill emerging at the bottom of a huge
  pit.
• Musk has previously said the first Boring Company
  tunnel will be ready to use on December 10.
• The pit where the drill emerges looks like the “O’Leary
  Station” property the Boring Company purchased in Hawthorne,
  California.

Elon Musk has tweeted footage of the Boring Company’s enormous
subterranean drill emerging from the ground to complete its first
tunnel.

Musk tweeted
jubilantly on Friday evening, saying the Boring Company “just
broke through to the other side.” He followed this up with
footage of the drill boring through into the bottom of what looks
like a very deep pit.

He congratulated the Boring Company on, “completing the
LA/Hawthorne tunnel,” which was accompanied with some more
close-up footage of the drill, as well as onlookers peering down
from above.

Ars Technica reported that the hole resembled a piece of
property the Boring Company bought, which has been named “O’Leary
Station.” Ars reports that it was named after an employee who
recently passed away.

In October, Musk tweeted that the Boring Company’s first tunnel
would be
ready to use on December 10. The tunnel runs for up to two
miles from a parking lot at SpaceX headquarters, according to the
company’s website.
