Elon Musk has a knack for tweeting out some real eyebrow-raisers. On Wednesday afternoon, he delivered, once again:
The new Roadster will actually do something like this https://t.co/fIsTAYa4x8
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 9, 2019
So, is Musk just joking around?
“I’m not,” Musk replied on Twitter TWTR, -0.66% to the delight of his fan base. “Will use SpaceX cold gas thruster system with ultrahigh pressure air in a composite over-wrapped pressure vessel in place of the 2 rear seats.”
Can't help but think Musk is full of crap here - even with the "removal of the rear seats" idea, I doubt that a tank of that size using cold gas only could hover a car for more than a handful of seconds.

We're building the Steel Slat Barrier. As requested by our Democrats. That MUST come first. And we'll see how well it works. We'll see. I think it's going to work tremendously well. We have Concrete Wall in Korea. And Concrete Wall in Israel. We had Concrete Wall in Germany. Beautiful walls, very effective. And I know guys in New York, they're very big in Concrete, they've done so many Concrete projects for me. Very solid guys. That's why I wanted to do Concrete Wall. I didn't promise Concrete Wall. I promised to protect our border. And people are saying, the Steel Slat Barrier will be great protection. It's actually better than Concrete. Because you can see through it. So important. So we'll do Steel Slat Barrier first. And we'll see about, do we need the Moat too? The Moat comes later. And only if we need it!!!
