If you are a follower please subscribe below and support the REAL news on Elon and his Companies.
The MSM and Political reps try everything they can to stop him and their progress. We combat this with ELON CHRON.
It is organized by company. Condensed with facts based solely on who-what-when-where-how. No fluff. No spin. No biased opinions.
The EC is free for all, but we need subscriber support to push forward.

My interview with Brad has been posted!
New Future Link Interview 🎙️ with @serobinsonjr, the man behind @elonchron, his daily no-spin chronicle of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Starlink, X, The Boring Company and xAI.
We talk about:
🛒 How years in retail management trained him to dig through the BS
🚀 Why SpaceX is the hardest company to cover
🧠 Neuralink's speed, and why "patients are not props"
✅ Elon replying "Not true" under his posts (twice!)
🛣️ Standing next to a Starship on a public highway, while you still can
Thank you, Steven, for doing this with me. 🙏
New Boring Company flyover!
THE BORING COMPANY HQ: Bastrop, Texas, October
Here is my flyover of TBC's Bastrop headquarters and Prufrock factory. It's is where they test every machine before it ships, build and store equipment, precast tunnel segments, liner trucks, vertical cassettes and conveyor belt systems, and more. They house their Prufrock Command Center here to control all the Prufrock's soon to be around the world.
- The SpaceX Pedestrian Tunnel started as Porpoise Test 6 (PT6). TBC first bored it to test (no people in the tunnel) ZPIT continuous mining, an upgraded liner truck and the "SNAILS on RAILS" navigation system. After the test, they turned it into a 500 ft walkway under FM1209 that connects the SpaceX site to Hyperloop Plaza, where The Boring Bodega is. People use it so they don't have to cross that busy road on foot.
- Hard-rock Prufrock-MB4 being constructed for Nashville's Music City LOOP.
- The Test Tunnel PT5 connects SpaceX's Starlink factory to TBC under FM1209. It was the first use of custom hexagonal segments, automated gantry steering, quick craneless retrieval, and the first version of ZPIT. It's now a test bench for liner trucks, vertical cassettes and new belt systems.
- Hyperloop Test Tunnel was PT4; the first craneless, pitless retrieval of the machine. It's now a vacuum tunnel for Hyperloop vacuum pump system testing. It also connects SpaceX's Starlink factory to TBC under FM1209.
- Lastly, Prufrock-5 after completing a test tunnel connecting Ring Ranch and possibly the SpaceX Starmind Factory. I videoed it right before it was loaded up and shipped to San Antonio, Texas, for the Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. Subscriber Photo-thread and Support links in the thread.
Thanks for watching!

SPACEX: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) tested Rocket Cargo point-to-point delivery on the October 20th Bandwagon-5 launch via SpaceX’s Starfall reentry capsule.
AFRL agile cargo pods inside the capsule carried a SATCOM-enabled tracker, batteries, a reverse osmosis desalinator, survival gear, and emergency medical equipment, with sensors measuring temperature, shock, and vibration during launch and reentry.
Engineers also fit-checked a UNI-PAC III life raft for possible future use. The test evaluates whether commercial rockets can rapidly deliver critical supplies worldwide to sites without roads or runways, supporting future military resupply, rescue operations, and disaster relief.
Per Brig. Gen. Douglas P. Wickert, AFRL commander and Department of the Air Force Technology Executive Officer, "Today’s launch was another demonstration of how AFRL is partnering with industry to burn down risk, collect hard data and deliver war-winning technologies for the operational force."
Per Adam Remaly, Director of AFRL Technology Transition Office, "This was a critical achievement to demonstrate the potential of Rocket Cargo delivery for point-to-point rapid global mobility for the Future Force."
