If you have taken physics or you are science-oriented, you'll realize that this is very likely a sham. 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.]
Zoom in on the bottom of the car, its obvious its fake, its a rig that probably weighs a few hundred pounds, not thousands. Also if you consider the speed it goes up the half pipe, its obviously being assisted by vacuum or magnets.
This is everything that musk is, a phony thats just convincing enough for the average person that doesnt know better. He's the personification of smoke and mirrors.
About a decade and a half of automotive manufacturing and tool design. Along with about 2 decades of involvement in motorsports, including working on a record holding drag car?

CONSIDER THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS.
