Elon Musk’s Boring Company has unveiled plans to build the “Dubai Loop,” a groundbreaking underground transportation system, at the World Government Summit (WGS) 2025, UAE. The announcement was made on Day 3 of the summit during a session where Musk appeared virtually to speak with Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications.
Musk expressed his excitement about the new project, saying, “I think once people try it out, they’ll be like wow this is really cool. It’ll seem so obvious in retrospect but until you actually do it you don’t know.”

He went on to describe the Dubai Loop as an innovative form of transport, comparing it to a “wormhole” that will allow passengers to travel seamlessly across the city, adding, “It’s going to be great. It’s going to be like a wormhole and you’ll just wormhole from one part of the city and, boom, you’re at another part of the city. It’s great. I’m looking forward to this partnership.”
The Dubai Loop promises to revolutionize urban transport in the city, offering a futuristic and efficient solution for rapid transit, as Musk and Al Olama highlighted the importance of the project in shaping the future of mobility.
The collaboration between the UAE and Musk’s Boring Company is expected to bring significant advancements to the region’s infrastructure and contribute to its growing reputation as a hub for cutting-edge technologies.
