The Dubai Loop was a major topic of discussion. This 17-kilometer underground transit system, featuring 11 stations, is designed to carry up to 20,000 passengers per hour on electric vehicles at speeds of up to 160 km/h, with the project aiming to ease traffic while providing an efficient and eco-friendly option, incorporating modern technology and sustainability goals.

Social media users have even nicknamed it a “wormhole” for city travel, travelling underground while avoiding the heat and gridlock above.

This meeting is part of a growing series of collaborations between Dubai and Musk’s ventures. Earlier in the year, announcements about the Dubai Loop drew excitement from locals and expats, and the UAE’s expanding tech ecosystem, with over 800 AI companies, makes it a suitable location for Musk’s innovations, from Starlink expansions to autonomous tech. Dubai’s space plans align with SpaceX’s plans, from Mars missions to lunar exploration.

The encounter wasn’t just about big ideas. It was also a notable moment, with Sheikh Hamdan at the wheel and Musk enjoying the ride.
As Dubai pushes forward with AI-driven cities, futuristic transport, and space initiatives, this meeting offers insight into upcoming initiatives of what’s to come. The city isn’t just building skyscrapers anymore, it’s shaping the future.

The two were first seen together in September, when they went to a bookshop in West Hollywood. They were also photographed eating lunch at Summerland’s Field and Fort cafe the same month.

In October, they were pictured shopping together at Paris’ The Row store. Kendall’s outings with the father of two have sparked fan speculation, with many suspecting the two are collaborating on a  possible creative project.

Given Kendall’s interest in interior design, some fans have speculated that they are working on a home fragrance brand.

Kendall was previously linked to 31-year-old Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. In February 2023, the two celebrities started dating. According to Us Weekly, Kendall “decided she wanted space” after spending time together in Europe in the summer of 2024.

While neither Kendall nor Gorham have revealed the nature of their relationship, their frequent outings continue to spark curiosity, whether romantic or artistic. Fans are eager to see if the duo’s connection will result in a new collaboration or something more.
