The article is paywalled so I can’t read it - what city did he already start and finish this project in?

They couldn't finish the tunnel because the job was boring.

Sorry one example from one of many articles showing it’s just a hype machine. From Dec 2023/Jan 2024 issue of Fortune Magazine

Snipped from Fortune Magazine Dec 2023 issue Goodman's criticism stems from Boring's inability to finish a public tunnel project anywhere else. The Boring Company has raised more than $795 million from venture capitalists on Musk's big idea: underground, multi-station roadways where autonomous vehicles could shoot off individuals to their destination at speeds of 150 miles per hour. But on the ground, after seven years, Boring is only operating a mere 2.4 miles of operational tunnel, according to Las Vegas agencies and contracts reviewed by Fortune. Meanwhile Boring projects from California to Illinois, Texas, Florida, and Maryland have all fizzled or been disbanded. (Davis, Musk, and several of Boring's investors did not respond to requests for an interview.) (Picture caption) Left: One of five stations where travelers can access the Boring Co.'s tunnel beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center. Right: A map for convention-goers illustrates where they can catch a ride.
