Elon Musk's Next Boring Company Product: Lifesize LEGO Blocks?

Did you miss out on your limited time chance at the flamethrower Elon Musk sold through his tunneling company, Boring Company? Well, don't despair, as you could be the proud owner of life size, LEGO-like blocks--made from tunneling rock escavated by the Boring Company's tunnelers--which can be used to create structures and buildings. According to Elon Musk, in a series of posts on Twitter, the Boring Company's next product will be those blocks, which will be "rated for California seismic loads, so super strong, but bored in the middle, like an aircraft wing spar, so not heavy." Musk quipped that the company will sell those blocks as kits, with the first based on "ancient Egypt -- pyramids, Sphinx, temple of Horus, etc".
