So, once again we saw a great comedy show. The richest man in the world only on paper. Our one and only Elon Musk. Elon Mosquito. Sorry. Maybe he should change his name to Elon Musido, like Lloyd Musido. Maybe I should change my name to Lloyd Musk. How does that sound? Lloyd Musk, Elon Musk, or Elon Musido, Lloyd Musido.
Anyway, we both want to be relatives, obviously with a big difference, because he's a trillionaire on paper. I am zero. I am a zero on paper. But let's focus on the wonderful little trick that our Elon Musk pulled off. You know, people just went crazy. Oh my God, people grabbed their smartphones and were so busy.
Wow! The internet exploded, people saying, "Oh my God, I never thought I'd live to see the day when cars actually fly." What a miracle, what engineering, blah blah blah. So, I'll give you a candid assessment of what I call...what would you call it? Circus tricks. People called it tricks, but it's a magic show.
And I'll break it down for you and tell you why I wasn't as impressed as others. Okay, first of all, we have to give credit, because what is this? Fantastic show. Seriously. You understand, this requires a lot of effort. This is not something you can just decide, "Okay, we're going to have a car that just hangs upside down." No, it takes a lot of planning.
A lot of planning went into this. A lot of effort was put into it. I have to take my hat off to the engineering team who made this so perfectly. Many things could have gone wrong, but they didn't . It's not some new concept, you know, where the air pushes things, they bounce a little bit, but the way he did it, the presentation, the balance—everything was executed flawlessly.
So, this is an engineering marvel, and I loved how he showed it slowly rising, then sticking up like Spider-Man, and completely flipping over. So I was like, "Wow, wow, wow, wow." He kept everyone on edge, you know? And then, obviously, a masterpiece, when she suddenly just fell, flipped over, and landed without crashing.
This requires a lot of engineering, planning, and, you know , precise calculations. Okay, I agree. It was compressed air or something. Okay, it landed. It didn't crash. So, that was the first thing he did that was impressive. The second one is, you know, that trick with five cars jumping, like in " Knight of the Roads." Do you remember those times?
You can google " the car from Knight of the Road 80s", it jumped exactly the same way and, again, did somersaults and all that. And I, I especially like the effects, because if you didn't see that smoke or, you know, that white plume, or whatever you call it, it would be invisible. So he really made sure you would believe that magic trick he showed.
And then, of course, the claim: 0 to 60, whatever, kilometers or miles per hour, it doesn't matter, in a split second, which is obviously impossible in the real world not only because of the congestion but also because of the dangerous levels that, I don't think any of this... You see, none of this is going to get approved.
Okay, let's agree on one thing. What he showed is completely impractical. This is not what we will get, even if, let's say, it is approved. Who the hell wants a vehicle that suddenly flips over? Imagine your coffee, your tea, your kids, you know , your pets and everything else, your coins—everything flying up and down.
No one would do that, and yes, it is obviously dangerous. So I'm sure you're smart enough to know that it was all nonsense. And if you want details, it's very simple. There was no real person in the car. It was just the body of the car, just the body, and that white figure—it was a mannequin. They got rid of all the weight: seats and everything else.
And they made room for compressed air cylinders. So, you know, I understand that this was just for show. And what you call, you know, the landing or that jump, only lasted, you know, 2 or 3 seconds, because after that the gas ran out. So I wouldn't call it a flying car, as Elon Musk said. I call it a jumping car.
Boeing, you know, like a rabbit. But he only jumped once. She can't jump up again. OK. And I don't think it was the same machine that performed all three of these tricks. I do n't think I saw it all in its entirety. And of course, I wasn't there . So I'm pretty sure there were three cars for three different demonstrations.
OK. So, having said that, the question now arises: why the hell did he show all this? Now many are saying that he showed this because he knows about the release of that critical documentary. These are not my words. Some say there is a critical documentary about Musk from director Alex Gibney that is going to expose Elon Musk.
By the way, Meta, Twitter—Twitter is owned by Elon Musk anyway —Instagram, none of the social networks, not even Google, promoted this because it seems to have been classified as political hate speech or something like that. Okay. But I would definitely recommend watching it. And I will definitely watch it, because let's see what Elon Musk is not happy about, because I think he tried to prevent the release of this movie.
Of course, Elon Musk is the brand ambassador or face of Tesla and SpaceX. So anything that affects it affects the share price of both companies. The good news is that once he showed this , you know, magic show, and after he tweeted about the flying car, it seems his stock jumped 2–5%. So that's good.
A little bit, you know, the stock market goes up and down , people make money. So that's all fine. However, let's get serious now. Firstly, this car will not be produced for the mass consumer, is that clear? Because obviously, just the batteries, you know, just the batteries of this electric vehicle will add another 1,500 pounds of weight, then the seats, then all the other aspects.
So, this will be an extremely heavy machine. Second point : if you look at the demonstration, there was a huge distance between the audience and the machine, not only, you know, for the safety of the people, but also because the noise level required for that kind of thrust would damage people's hearing.
This may even cause harm. This may even cause debris to fly. Just imagine something small could just fly off and maybe, you know, cut your face like in one of those "Final Fantasy," you know, like in the horror movies, "Final Destination," you know? And yes, if the tanks rupture or become damaged, it will result in a massive explosion and instant death.
So, you know, I understand all of this , and even safety agencies would never approve of this dangerous ticking bomb, or whatever you want to call it, like NHTSA or FAA, which are responsible for, I guess, aviation. They have no jurisdiction when it comes to cars. And obviously, if there were safety regulations for cars, they would never approve this.
So let's put all that aside. Okay, you know, I understand that this is not for practical use. It was more for, you know, increasing the marketing or brand value of Elon Musk and his company. But now, why do I call it a scam? If you saw my title, I didn't just say it was a good magic show. Why do I call this a scam?
There must be a reason for this, right? You see, the problem is that people have very short memories. They tend to forget everything very quickly. Like Mark Zuckerberg's confessions at the Congressional hearings, where it was proven what he did with Facebook, Instagram, where it was proven that he knew what he was doing, and where it was proven that he sold data to Cambridge Analytica.
Everything was proven, but still, you know, people forget about it, a light punishment, and, you know, it's okay. Because money and power decide everything. It's the same with Elon Musk: his followers are so blinded by his genius, because he's a smart, intelligent, amazing guy with amazing concepts.
But he literally leads everyone by the nose. I'll give you a few facts. Please prove me wrong. Look , uh, Tesla is valued at how much? 1.3 trillion, okay? And it only sells 1.8 million cars. Tesla is a car company, right? So Toyota, which sells 11 million cars, that's 10 million more, you know? It is estimated at 280 billion.
Now, obviously, Elon Musk fans are going to say, " No, it's a tech company, dude. A tech company, not an automotive company." Aba, turn on your common sense . Tesla makes money from selling cars . She doesn't make money selling technology. What technology exactly is it selling? She made all her money with the Model 3 and Model Y, okay?
You can record this data and check it through your ChatGPT or anything else. He only has two outdated models, okay? And the other models that he promised but never released, or they were discontinued, the Model S Plaid Plaid, p l a i d, got it? Model 2, which was supposed to become a mass-market car.
Uh, Model S, Model X, then the Cybertruck, which was supposed to cost $39,900, which is twice as much, and full-scale versions of the Tesla Semi. All of these either failed, or he promised them but didn't release them, or they were discontinued . So Tesla only makes money thanks to the Model 3 and Model Y, okay?
And all these so- called technological statements you make, what are they? Robotaxis, cybercabs, Optimus humanoid robots. So far, it has not brought any revenue and has not proven its success. So here I proved that Tesla is a car company. This is not a technology company. The reason for all this noise is that he continues to spout nonsense and feed people nonsense, and they buy into it and believe it.
For example, look at his promises, at his words. 2014, it will give you a fully self-driving car. In 2014, he said he would do it. Nothing happened. The 27th, sorry, 2017, from one end of the United States to the other, coast to coast, autonomous driving. You don't need a person. It didn't happen. He promised a million robo-taxis in 2020.
It didn't happen . He promised that the Cybertruck would cost only $39,900. Not only is it twice as expensive, but it's also so expensive to maintain that people hate it. Of course? So, as far as Tesla is concerned, all these promises that he made, he didn't fulfill. And if you still say no, it's just Tesla, I'll give you five or six more instances where it promised and didn't deliver.
In 2013, he promised Hyperloop trains that would travel at speeds of 1,100 km/h. He promised that this would happen in 2013. Nothing happened. 2016, underground tunnels. Do you remember? 240 km/h, the car had to go fast. This resulted in traffic jams that slowed down traffic even further. He promised Earth-to- Earth flights.
You can travel by rocket, you know, for the price of an affordable commercial airline ticket in 2017. Nothing happened. He even used words like...warp speed or rap speed or whatever, a speed faster than the speed of sound. Ahem. 2021, he promised life on Mars . We will land there. 2050 , we will have a million people on Mars.
It didn't happen. Do you see people flying to Mars? Forget it. Is he even going to the Moon? Forget about it. Is he even building anything in the desert? No. The reason he's throwing all this grandiose nonsense at you is because people like to be fooled, and based on speculation they can do all these stock deals and hype up the company.
His SolarCity collapsed. His promises regarding Dogecoin, uh, failed. His crypto hype failed. So the problem is that people, you know, turn a blind eye to all this . Just imagine if the CEO of any other company promised all of this and didn't deliver. He would be kicked out. The problem with this guy is that he has charisma.
He did some good things too. SpaceX and, yeah, he really made Tesla, uh , you know, popular in the US. But remember one thing: this is the same guy who laughed at BYD. Laughed and challenged that they would never be able to compete with Tesla on equal terms. Now they look very unattractive. Today, BYD sells more cars than Tesla, and even more.
And here's the funny thing: he complains that India's Reliance has a monopoly and doesn't allow Starlink, even though he himself made efforts to prevent BYD from selling its electric cars in the US. Why? Because they are not only cheaper, but also more reliable. They have very good quality and will easily surpass Tesla in sales.
Just imagine. So, Elon Musk knows his limitations. He knows how to play this game. And so, he, I don't know, maybe he's getting older. That's why he wants to have all these accolades and all these empty titles. $1 trillion is not cash in your pocket, boss. These are just numbers. Maybe you can use this to buy another Twitter or something like that.
And yes, they will constantly use their lawyers and guys who know the loopholes in the tax system to ensure that they pay zero percent in tax, well, okay. Good for him. However, all I want to tell you is that he is busy fooling people, and there are still masses who are completely blind, and I don't know, they are so stupid, yes.
Such fools . Educated people are so stupid. Wow, a flying car. He just jumped up like a damn rabbit. What kind of flying car? Anyway, I want to know if this impressed you? As I said, I was amazed by the engineering marvel of the demonstration, but none of this, zero, none of this is practical in the real world, and you'll see a lot more videos on Instagram, TikTok or, you know, YouTube Shorts generated by AI, making fun of and mocking this, you know, these jumps and everything.
I even saw a video showing that if you do it in Thailand or India, the car just gets tangled up in all those wires and stuff. And people who were drinking coffee or juice when they tried to flip the car over simply tipped everything over. And yes, that's all he'll do. Yes, as a marketing genius, he's great.
He is amazing. We can learn from him . But from a practical and honest perspective, the company is just fooling you. Anyway, these are my thoughts. Let me know what yours are. I would be interested to know what you have to say. Good, bad, terrible— write in the comments. Did that surprise you? And what do you think of his, I don't know, trick, party trick or would you call it a scam? I look forward to your feedback. Take care of yourself. This is my farewell.
