Elon Musk's Boring Company is A Thought of Ecstasyreportedly hard at work digging its first tunnel outside of SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne, California — but the company's eccentric leader has poetry on the mind.
That hasn't totally distracted Musk from dedicating his seemingly limitless attention span to the next-gen underground transportation project, though. His forays into literature have, instead, inspired him so much that he's settled on a name for the Boring Company's second massive tunneling machine, and it's been pulled straight from one of America's most important poets, Robert Frost.

The new machine's name, Line-Storm, comes from Frost's first book of poems, 1913's A Boy's Will. The bucolic setting of the verse is a strange fit to be the namesake of a massive piece of industrial equipment, but Musk seems fixated on the line that closes the first and last stanzas, "And be my love in the rain." Sensitive, honest Elon is back in full force.
Musk gave Boring Company's other machine a name inspired by a famous work of literature, but that seemed to be more fitting. The first digger was named Godot, inspired by the title character (who never appears) in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. When that was announced back in May, Musk hinted that Frost would probably be used to name another of the machines, although he seemed to dismiss the obvious idea of using the poet's most famous work, "The Road Not Taken."

The Boring Company could be prepping to expand its operations now that the second tunneling machine has been christened. Musk showed off a picture of a Tesla in the Hawthorne tunnel back in August, and told a skeptical follower on Twitter that the project is progressing rapidly.

Musk famously tweeted that The Boring Company's efforts to build tunnels that will jettison cars on rails at speeds of up to 124 mph (possibly using a Hyperloop) had been given "verbal government approval" to expand to other cities, too, but there haven't been any updates on that front.
For now, the most tangible public proof of the Boring Company's efforts are JJ Abrams-inspired hats Musk is busily hawking on Twitter. If you buy the merch, you too can rep Frost, Godot, Musk, and tunnels, if you're into extremely boring headwear.
