You can make a brick fly if you strap enough thrust ($$$$) to it. That doesn't mean a human without suicidal thoughts would ever want to be strapped to the same brick.

This is hot wheels. It's pretty clear Musk finally had enough of the culture wars at X and decided to go interfere with Tesla some more. Instead of producing a car people might actually want, he made them do this. This is the worst waste of a company you're likely to see in your life.

TSLA is probably not a good stock to be holding right now.

Yup. SpaceX lost four spacecraft to issues with these.

CRS-7, Amos-6, Starship 36, and Super Heavy 18.

You should look into hydrogen fuel tanks found in Toyotas! Much more terrifying.

Where I live aftermarket modified LPG cars are extremely common. We don't have explosions often.

Big Elon fan boy here but you are 100% right. It’s basically the “Titan” submersible in reverse.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but you probably pass at least one very explosive tank of something very volatile each and every day on your commute.
