The project called ‘Dubai Loop’ was announced during a session on the third day of the World Government Summit (WGS) 2025, when Musk was speaking virtually with Omar AlOlaima, UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications.
The emirate will partner with Elon Musk in an ambitious project to connect Dubai’s most densely populated areas. “It will be like a wormhole,” Musk said, adding that once launched, the loop system is going to seem like an obvious choice of transport to connect busy areas.
At the conclusion of his 30-minute session AlOlama announced that Dubai Loop will work as a loop project to serve population areas of Dubai through its point-to-point system. According to Musk the system will function as if it had created a portal between destinations.
The journey between city areas happens through a single wormhole procedure which takes you directly from one section to another section. User adoption of this system should turn into enthusiasm once people experience its operation. The loop system will appear as an obvious solution to connect city areas once it starts operating according to Musk.
Through his statement Al Olama showed his appreciation to Musk for their collaborative work. The company anticipates working together while planning to participate in both the first space flight and the initial test pod mission according to him. At the end of The Boring Company discourse Mr. Musk announced a new project but failed to provide any further specifics regarding the venture.
At the event Musk described the Los Angeles tunnel network and provided the reasons behind its development. Tunnels serve people in congested areas with a useful purpose according to him. The Boring Company focuses on developing underground connectivity throughout Las Vegas between its major hotel facilities as well as the convention center and airport.
The main choice instead of building tunnels would be to implement airsapce-based flying taxis and helicopter services. When it comes to doing something the main drawback stems from excessive noise production along with significant wind resistance effects according to his statement. Flying vehicles face occasional accidental incidents during their operations.
Regardless of weather conditions specifically blizzards and sandstorms people cannot operate flights because of safety reasons. So transport shuts down. The advantage of underground transportation becomes apparent because it avoids the magnetic and safety issues which the surface or road transportation often faces due to the traffic.
During his announcement, he explained that tunnels provided the most secure transportation during extreme events such as earthquakes. Musk introduced The Loop at the World Government Summit 2025 during Day 3 through a virtual conversation with Omar Al Olama who served as UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence.
