The Boring Company CEO Elon Musk seems to be confounded about what a tunnel is. It’s ironic since the company’s main mission is to build tunnels for quick, high-speed underground travel. Or the tweets are just Musk being faux-modest about what his company’s accomplished.

Musk, the man behind SpaceX and Tesla, said ln October that a tunnel in Los Angeles would open by the end of the year. On Saturday night he tweeted a preview of the dark and “one-dimensional” underground tube.

He said he walked the entire tunnel and found it “disturbingly long.” The tunnel is supposed to be 2.7 miles upon completion.

These all seem to be common descriptors for tunnels, but Musk is still surprised by the tunnel’s tunnelness.

The first section of the Hawthorne test tunnel that Musk showed in a 34-second timelapse video will be open for rides, so pedestrians and cyclists can try it out, after an opening party on Dec. 10. 

In a new podcast interview with Recode’s Kara Swisher Musk talked about The Boring Company and building a network of tunnels under Los Angeles. Again he brought up the dimensionality of the tunnel — and distinguished what makes his tunnels different from a subway system. 

“…even subways tend to be essentially two-dimensional. You’ll have a subway cross another subway, but they’ve never really tried to make many layers of subways,” he said.

He called the upcoming opening event a “one-dimensional party” — it seems he really wants us to understand this is a single tunnel going from point A to point B. Low expectations.

Camila Cabello headed into the 2018 MTV EMA as the most nominated artist, with six noms, while Ariana Grande and Post Malone trailed close behind with five apiece. But the EMA are nothing if not unpredictable — host Hailee Steinfeld summed it up best when she said “anything can happen” — so those shiny trophies could find a home with any of your fave artists.

What we do know is that the star-studded awards show will feature explosive live performances from Nicki Minaj, Halsey, Little Mix, Panic! at the Disco, Alessia Cara, and more. Not to mention, Global Icon Award recipient Janet Jackson will hit the stage in Bilbao, Spain. No big deal.

We’re tracking all of the winners, including key categories like Best Song, Best Video, and the especially stacked Best Artist, which finds Cabello, Grande, Malone, Drake, and Dua Lipa vying for the prize.

Something new happened in Fortnite and no one knows what it means yet.

The purple cube, which was nicknamed “Kevin,” is gone. The area around its former home, floating above a lake, is altered. Everyone who witnessed the cube’s disappearance got zapped into a floaty space filled with white lights and some weird kind of butterfly.

If you don’t play Fortnite, none of this makes sense. Let’s back up.

Fortnite is one of the most popular video games on the planet in 2018. It pits up to 100 players against one another in a massive “battle royale” map where the last person or squad standing wins. Everyone starts on even footing, with no gear; a big piece of the game involves gathering resources during a match and using them to propel your victory.

That’s the basic explanation. But Fortnite is much bigger than the game you play. It’s a live experience driven by seasonal shifts. There’s just one playable map, but it’s changed again and again as one-time events (like June’s rocket launch) mark those key moments.

Sunday’s cube disappearance finished a journey that started in August. That’s when the giant purple cube first appeared in the game. It had weird symbols scrawled all over it and repelled anyone who got too close.

It also moved.

No one noticed it at first because it happened so slowly. But starting in late August, the Fortnite cube moved a short distance once every two hours (roughly). It’s path across the map eventually led it to “Loot Lake,” where it stopped and appeared to melt into the water. This was in mid-September.

When Season 6 of Fortnite kicked off about a week later, the cube reappeared. It rose out of the lake, floating up into the air along with an island that had once lived in Loot Lake. The island fell back to ground level a few days later, breaking into smaller pieces in the process. Meanwhile, the cube started to crack.

All of that set the stage for Sunday’s in-game event. Here, just see it for yourself:

After leaving the white space, players returned to find their Fortnite map transformed.

One thing: Kevin’s disappearance marked the end of an ongoing “Fortnitemares” Halloween event which saw players dealing with Cube Monsters trying to kill them in addition to all the other human players.

The space below Kevin, an area formerly known as Loot Lake, was also transformed. Instead of it being a mostly empty lake, the area is now populated by a number of smaller islands. There may be other terrain changes too.

This is the kind of stuff that makes Fortnite so magical. The fact that it’s playable on pretty much any modern machine capable of playing video games definitely helps, but the event factor is strong. 

What happened on Sunday is never going to happen again in Fortnite. The people who were there, the ones who know the game well, they recognized that and cut the fighting so they could watch Kevin’s exit unfold. They stopped playing so they could bear witness.

That’s a powerful thing. Fortnite‘s events captivate audiences inside and outside the game like few others can. Even if you missed it in the moment, it’s a cool thing to behold.
