The Boring Co., which plans to dig tunnels for hyperloop mass transit, has raised nearly $113 million in venture capital funding, according to an SEC filing.

Digging in: Elon Musk himself is not listed on the filing, but this is very much his company (and, yes, is the same one that recently sold flamethrowers).
