The fact you think Elon had any meaningful contribution to this is fucking hilarious

Elon is the reason why so many people are shitting on this

I guarantee that if Toyota created this car there would be nothing but praise for it, not as a vehicle but as a technological innovation

Practical effects have done this and other stuff. They just don't try to sell it as a fully functioning car at the same time.

Elon said I want a car that has maneuvering jets and can spin and float.

Engineers: we can't do that with a the weight of the can and fit all of the propulsion in it

Elon: make a fake car to do just this stunt. We faked a robot with a guy in a suit and they ate that shit up.
