Elon Musk's tunnel-digging firm The Boring Company's operations in Las Vegas were suspended after a worker sustained a "crushing injury." As local fire department and OSHA spokespeople told Fortune, authorities received a call about an "industrial/machinery incident" on Wednesday evening. The injured worker had to be lifted out of the tunnel using an on-site crane and transported to a local hospital. "The patient is reported to be stable," a spokeswoman for the patient told Fortune.

Elon Musk's The Boring Company has started recruitment efforts for the Music City Loop, an underground tunnel system designed to link downtown Nashville with Nashville International Airport. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee expressed strong support for the project, describing it as a cost-free alternative to traditional mass transit systems that could ease traffic congestion in the city. Initial digging began in mid-August, with visible progress reported by September 1, as noted in a WKRN report.
