ARCHITECT‘s Katharine Keane summarizes the week’s top tech stories, including last Monday’s announcement from innovation magnate Elon Musk, who took to Twitter to reveal a new product offering coming out of his Boring Co.’s tunnel construction business.

The company, Musk tweeted, will soon sell “lifesize LEGO-like interlocking bricks made from tunneling rock that you can use to create sculptures & buildings.” The material will be “rated for California seismic loads, so super strong, but bored in the middle, like an aircraft wing spar, so not heavy,” he writes. Musk did not provide further details or a more specific timeline. [Twitter]
