So this article just popped up on my guardian feed…wild stuff. I’m not a fan of Musk but you gotta admit this is pretty interesting.

“I’m not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions,” Musk said, adding that the prototype was “not necessarily a safety optimised car but it takes the fun meter to 11”.

It doesn't fly, it jumps. Those are not rockets, it's compressed air.

I am excited, however, to see people having their day in court due to this machine. "Technically, your honor, I went over the red light, not through it."

    Also I'd say sitting inside during jumps and stuff will act out a bit of strong force on the body and aside that not working for everyone minor failures would be very harmful.

    So all in all pretty idiotic to begin with and of course let's not forget that Elon is a literal nazi and still news arrive as if nothing happened.

    Epstein files too ofc.
