Elon musk, with his marketing stunt called "roadster"

Did you see the new Tesla Roadster demo with cold gas thrusters?

I think I'm out of the loop a bit. This is where all the flying car memes are coming from?

I WOULD try to solve that. But I'd maybe take a few cracks at World Hunger and Cancer first

The issue is, he's only rich BECAUSE everyone is suffering. If he started fixing problems he'd become less rich because people would become less desperate and stupid.

Yes, Tesla demonstrated a car shaped can of pressurized air. A lot of people think it's a flying car. It's neither flying nor a car.

Why wasn't it a car? Was it really all hollowed out?

Yup. Single seat, no actual driver in it, likely very little actual battery or other normal car equipment. They stated every "spare" inch was filled with pressured gas canisters to make it work.

Knowing how Tesla likes to lie in its marketing, it was most likely never a viable car. The fact that they are advertising that model for sale as "invite only" means it also won't ever be sold.

Soounds like it was just like something to roll out at a county fair for people to say whao, and wasn't something they're selling or manufacturing for public sale.

I would put it all into getting money out of politics. With enough of a donation, surely politicians would be willing to pull the ladder up after them and make future politicians honest.

He could do that, and solve many problems facing mankind. He chooses not to.

Yeah, it's low on the list, but it's still on the list if we're talking ALL the worlds resources

They actively say preorder doesn't guarantee getting it.

Besides, we have Acceleracers. I think. Do we? Did they ever make an ending?
