If you have taken physics or you are science-oriented, you'll realize that this is very likely a sham in that Elon won't be able to produce a car that can achieve continuous flight for hours. I'm not 100% certain, but if you think about the physics, what is being suggested is impossible.
Think about the enormous amount of energy required to keep this car afloat if it's based on propellant. Consider how Harrier Jump jets spend so much fuel to do something similar for a few seconds.
The only way to accomplish this practically would be to rely on a technology that counteracts gravitational forces without expending energy. The aliens that have been spotted sporadically likely use such a technology. But we are nowhere near that level of technology yet. [Edit - deleted: Our scientists still don't know where gravity comes from.]
*Aliens. Btw, declassified evidence from the US government came out in the last 10 years. The traditional belief that believing in aliens is wacko has reversed. Ironically, if you don't believe in them now, it means you're unscientific. Look at the evidence before you tell me I'm crazy.
There is no way to be certain, but it's very likely that Air Force pilots have been seeing alien aircraft for the past few decades but it was kept secret by the military. It's pretty cool. There are videos online. I think it's insane that there isn't more public attention on this. I suspect that a lot of people dismiss it, believing it's wackos like flat Earthers trying to get attention. It's not.
I mean, ive seen enough lunar lander challange attempts that is plausible, obviously the "car" was heavily adapted for this to be very light, very short "flight". Also they very highly likely had multiple different cars for different stunts.
Is it a sham? Very, but not in the sense they necessarily faked it outright, but the sham part is that this is not something you could add to a fully functional car

That's how I and I think most people meant. We don't necessarily believe it's CGI/AI or some type of fake. We just don't believe that Elon could make a flying car like the one in the video, which would transport people like regular cars.
I thought people meant hidden wires or whatnot. Making a lightweight carshaped thing to boost itself like that is nowadays easier than risking getting exposed for straight out fakery
ah…I agree that that's not what happened here. When I said sham, I meant that there is no way he could make flying cars. If the demo was only for cars that can do this for a few seconds, what practical purpose would such a car serve?

CONSIDER THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS.
