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”.

The extreme is what's so annoying about this. This is a dude who already spent more money on the midterms than the previous Trump election, where he paid people if they said they'd vote for Trump.

I don't think it is 'cool' that a car has rocket features, unless it is the batmobile. That gets apass. Because it is in a fictional universe and isn't making the real world worse.
