Musk partners with Dubai for rapid underground transport

The announcement of the project named 'Dubai Loop' came on Thursday, Day 3 of World Governments Summit (WGS) 2025 during a session when Musk was speaking virtually with Omar AI Olama, UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications.

Later, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid AI Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, tweeted more information about the project, which he said would "revolutionise transportation" in the emirate. He said the city will continue to "redefine the future of transportation, both above and below ground" and set global benchmarks.
