The Boring Company beat out four other developers for the project that would build an underground high-speed rail line from downtown Chicago to O’Hare International Airport. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is expected to make the official announcement this afternoon. “We have a person in Elon Musk who started an electric car company from nothing and started a space company from nothing and he has proven that he doesn’t like to fail,” said Mayor Emanuel, who shares that “failure-is-not-an-option” trait with Musk.
