I mean if I saw this at a monster truck derby I would think it was cool. When it's companies that represent trillions of dollars it feels a little underwhelming I was expecting more. It's also clearly a gimmick it's not like this is a real product. Even from their own marketing it's obvious.

If it was like "we figured out this technology and it will be available to the public and we will be working with regulators to usher in a new age of flying cars!" I would be pretty stoked. But it's pretty obviously just a stunt for the launch.

I don't know I just...I feel crazy but I feel like these resources could be doing something amazing and we getting like stunt tricks.

I mean Chinese EVs have already surpassed Tesla in global volume sales and their CEO helped elect the man who gut the EV industry in America. But I guess it's cool we are doing cool tricks while that happens?

If it was a smaller scrappier company I would think it was neat, but this company and associated companies represents so much of the market and so many resources. And I don't know it just seems like they are doing like...monster truck derby stunts?? It's just kind of underwhelming to see this is what they are spending their time on for me. I was expecting a lot more.

> It's not like they can just use the money anywhere

I mean SpaceX was literally caught buying Cybertrucks it's clear there's some corruption. But aside from that, they also just represent such a large chunk of the market that it's hard to argue that they aren't just siphoning funds from other ventures somewhat even outside of public misappropriation. I wouldn't even mind that if I felt like they earned it, but it just feels like the stock was pumped as a meme or something. The engineering is impressive but not impressive IMO for what they are worth.

> Humanity should be advanced by a collective, not by a few gifted individuals, even if that means more bureaucracy and less efficiency.

In other words, you are advocating for communism.
