By many metrics the thing in the oic isn't a car anyway. It is a special built rocket thing in the general shape of a car.that really only works for a minute-ish. Just long enough to put on that specific show.
And...elom didn't design, build, etc it. He paid for it. That is it.

They know this isn’t a car for them right? I’m guessing starting price would be in the millions if they ever produce it.
How much rocket fuel did it take for that single jump?
Would any insurance company touch it? I’d say you’d never get it made legal on the roads, but he’s got a president in his pocket so maybe.
How messed up will the average non-astronaut feel after a maneuver like that? Too nauseous to carry on driving right away I’m sure.
