To be clear, my intention was not to throw shade on SpaceX or Tesla as companies, or on any of their USEFUL products. I like both companies, and their products. I'm a customer.

My intention was to demonstrate the intent behind the demonstration, as physics says this is 100+ times more inefficient than a business jet, and will never fly more than 5 miles given its current size. Thats not me, thats PHYSICS.

This was a sales pitch for a corporate merger, not a product launch.

This is financial engineering.

So by "do better" I meant, think longer term, solve a real problem. They have the resources, and the talent, and we got a donkey show.

Tesla isn’t interested in building cars. They canceled SX in order to build the Cybertruck. I expect they’ll let 3Y just get really old.

Instead of S3XY cars we get stunts. Solar roofs, Concept car roadsters, and of course humanoid robots.

If only Tesla would be interested in cars again.

Literal Skynet may be something, but "meh"?
