The Boring Company’s second machine will be called “Line-Storm” and is “almost ready,” Elon Musk said Wednesday on Twitter.
The name “Line-Storm” is borrowed from the title of Robert Frost’s poem “A Line-Storm Song.” Musk shared the poem along with the announcement.

The Boring Company aims to dig a system of high-speed underground tunnels that enable cars to be transported on a platform traveling at around 125 mph. The company is currently digging its first tunnel in Los Angeles.
Musk also announced that the company is offering fans of its efforts – or, at least, its witty moniker – the chance to purchase a $20 hat with The Boring Co. logo. Musk said more than 4,000 units sold in a day.
Update:
Now at 6400 hats …
