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.

Why would you derive pleasure from an intelligent, creative person having a mental collapse? Have you considered why you think things like this? It may be worth your time.

Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating -- overwhelmingly -- 17 candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Very entertaining!
