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

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.

(cont) By the way, for anyone that comes to my office. To the Oval Office. I have the MOST DELICIOUS Candy. M&M's. And Skittles. Otherwise known as Brain Food. A bowl of M&M's, and a separate bowl for the Skittles. And don't worry, they won't kill you. Because my guy was very careful about the Candy. I told him, "take out the brown ones and send them back." And if I find a brown one, he's fired!!!
