Elon claimed he never meet Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein, then this photo came out proving he had at least meet Ghislaine and his ex-wife confirmed they'd stayed at Epsteins mansion in New York so he obviously knew him.

And we know Elon's brother and investor Kimbal Musk not only knew Epstein but dated some girls he set him up with and they talked about Kimbal introducing him to Elon.

Then this email allegedly between Jeffrey Epstein and Elon Musk discussing an apparent kung fu practice with Ghislaine Maxwell was introduced as evidence at a trial. Elon claims its fake but he's been caught lying so often it's hard to trust his word anymore.

The previous Roadster was at least a good looking car that never existed on the market, unlike the new abomination that may also never exist on the market.

Now imagine the same idiots with actual flying cars.

Not juat that. It's the same as with the cyberfuck. They daydream about kickflipping over cars in traffic and imagine how everyone point at them thinking they are cool as fuck. Disgusting.

like the OG cybertruck he unveiled in 2017, but never actually went through with it, until 2023, and hyperloop before that.

None of the rocket versions (and probably also the "suction" version neither) will be road legal. The cold gas thrusters they use are incredibly loud (and unsafe for anyone standing around) and the fan system spits out any debris on the road towards the cars behind it.

If it ever gets produced, it will never be road legal. Its a meme to drive stock up, this is the use case.

Of course, I am thinking of a future where Trump & co. isn't president who can allow something like this on the streets.

I was looking forward to the reports of Musk influencers getting themselves killed.

It was a dumb stunt and one that doesn't show of the models unique abilitys or features. Supposedly if you are a stunt driver you can get it for stunts but I can't see many being sold as drivers like to use old cars because it's not a big lose when they make a mistake and crash.

If he ever COULD deliver, it would make the most hilarious "migrant caravan" if a bunch of Mexicans were flipping their cars over the Border wall.

And you can do it once and then you need to refill for 7 hours. I’d just a stunt

Probably not even that. I have a miny whoop, it's battery is 1/3 it's volume I'm sure much more it's weight. It only flys for 3 minutes. I can't image a Tesla would stay in the air for over a minute.

TSLA got a bump in price during the presentation but it closed the day even lower than it opened. :)

I mean it is possible, as was shown in a demonstration McMurtry did. In fact, I would think it’s more difficult to use magnets to do that. I’d believe this is just a giant fan car.

There’s no way that it gets more than like 3 minutes of runtime from a full charge with that downforce mode on, especially the flight model with all the extra weight of the thrusters and compressed gas tanks.

I can’t find the article but…

They never claimed there was a person. Musk even explicitly said it was remote controlled because they didn’t want to kill anyone.

The ramp was supposedly suction. That seems feasible for a carbon fiber body.

It’s all just a show, anyway. Probably an ego project ordered by Musk. He desperately wants to be seen as genius but has the most juvenile ideas about what that entails. Also, the demonstration to distract from the movie about Musk and his political machinations.

The was nobody in the car. Of course it was a lot of bs

What was even the idea behind the concept? Who ever wished for a car that could emit puffs of gas to vaguely jump around for half a second? Did I miss the petition or what?

Or that it weighed like 75 kilos, a gocart with a plastic shell.

Anyways, from an engineering viewpoint it's utter trash except for a one off stunt like this, and even then it was super janky IMO. I sure wasn't impressed, I didn't really get what was supposed to be cool about it.

Even though i have no evidence Im pretty certain there was no human in it also what was used in the show was likely a machine specifically designed for the purpose of the show nothing close to a practical car outside of looks.

TSLA caught a nice bump during the presentation and then fell to below what it opened for that same day. :)
