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”.
Whats interesting about it? The possibility to become the worlds first airplane-car-accident victim? Or the excitement of waiting things to malfunction and blow you up?
It’s a rocket-powered car. What’s not interesting about that?
Nothing about it is interesting. Its stupid and pointless. A gimmick, PR trick.
Even that isn’t exactly novel but I’d be interested to see it operated outside of the closed, pre-designed environment they showed it off in. I would be willing to bet good money that it operates in this exact environment but couldn’t replicate this stunt - or really do anything of note - in a “live” environment. We’ve seen this from masturbatory rich person marketing stunts before many times.
Well rich people will do rich people things…the inevitable accident is well, inevitable lol
