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.

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.
When you’re the trillionaire you are the customer and product manager. They are building things for themselves. Cybertruck is another great example.
