It’s like.. cool! I guess?
How many years ago did Elon lie and say the roadster would be available? How about put out the thing people reserved back then instead of skipping to a version of it nobody asked for.
It’s like he’s a bad product manager, forcing you to build things nobody actually wants. Except make that product manager a trillionaire surrounded by sycophants. Nightmare shit.
When you’re the trillionaire you are the customer and product manager. They are building things for themselves. Cybertruck is another great example.
I think this is just a matter of him wanting to heat up his sycophants and cultists, and he knows he can, and that's why he bought X.
I'm not denying that there's some cool tech going on in there but this approach just makes me cringe. He knows well what he is doing and that's why I used the term "meme stock". This shit will not make any revenue, ever, probably but the demo moves the stocks.
Does Tesla have value? Yes it does. The cars work. I've never driven one but everyone I've spoken to few people who have, all of which really enjoyed driving them.
Flying cars will not ever be a thing. At least for not the next 50-100 years. Goddammit this shit is so stupid.
7 years ago Elon posted a tweet revealing how the Roadster will work. The yesterday’s demo was a 100% match to what he had said. I don’t think you understand Elon. Actually, I’m going to rephrase - you don’t understand Elon at all. There was no demo of a car yesterday, and he gives zero fks about the stock price.
About 700,000 people died because of Elon's DOGE cuts. I don't give a crap about his flying cars or promises of Utopia.

I don't think you understand Elon at all. The dude paid others to play Diablo characters for him so he could claim to be a good Diablo player, which isn't even a seriously competitive game. He has a deep obsession with his image and the stock prices of his companies. He wouldn't have tweeted the famous "funding secured" tweet that got him in trouble with the SEC if he didn't care about Tesla's stock price.
