Some SpaceX investors are concerned about CEO Elon Musk's other ventures, especially when their capital is deployed for his latest pet project, The Boring Company, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The Boring Company' s first tunnel, which is set to open Tuesday after a delay , is being constructed from SpaceX headquarters in Southern California and has been funded by money intended for the rocket venture not tunnels sources told the Journal.
Eventually, about 6% of The Boring Company's equity was given to SpaceX after some investors voiced their discontent, according to the Journal, but the SpaceX board never voted to deploy the cash in the first place.
