    The Boring Company has posted on X:

    Prufrock-4 has begun testing in Boring Factory in Bastrop, TX. Prufrock-4 is 308 feet long (~1 football field), weighs 797,000 pounds (~150 SUVs), and produces up to 4.7 million pounds of thrust (~90% of Falcon Heavy liftoff thrust).

    Prufrock 4 is the latest iteration of TBC’s tunnel boring machine (TBM), meaning it should be closer to beating Gary the Snail.
